How can I restore wsock32.dll?

At startup I get messages of many programs that they cannot start because wsock32.dll is not found and that I should reinstall.  I ran the antivirus scans, not been able to do a system restore, tried to reinstall a couple of programs without success.

Hello

Did you change your computer?

Wsock32.dll error messages may appear when using or installing some programs when Windows starts or shuts down, or maybe even during a Windows installation. Wsock32.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the DLL to wsock32.

In some cases, wsock32.dll errors might indicate a problem of registry, a virus or malware issue or even a hardware failure.
