Default wsock32.dll - Norton detected Trojan
wsock32.dll detected as trojan by Norton.

It's auto deleted and now I can't login to any characters as it says dll errors.. is this dll specific to EQMu or is this a general EQ dll?

Not sure if anyone else has had this issue.

Sounds like you have a virus on your computer. wsock32.dll is part of the windows operating system and if I remember correctly it is needed for network communications. It is fairly common for viruses to infect executables and other key portions of operating systems such as dynamic link libraries.
It is very uncommon for Norton to give a false positive on windows system files. I currently use NIS2011 and have no such issue.
