Your security practices are lacking, and your computer has become infected
with a trojan. Suggest you
buy and install a reputable antivirus program and keep it updated. In
addition, you need to verify that you have a firewall running.

One other comment; You posted your email address in a Usenet newsgroup.
There are programs that constantly scan the Usenet servers harvesting email
addresses. You will soon learn why having your email address exposed is a
bad thing. I suggest you *IMMEDIATELY* take the steps to secure your
computer and also immediately change your email address, as the one you
posted will now be bombarded with malware.

After you have done everything above, take some time and educate yourself on
basic home computer security practices. These include installing AV and
firewall, keeping Windows updated, running spyware and anti-spam utilities
on a regular basis, and having the knowledge of basic security in as far as
not posting personal information (email address, etc) anywhere on the
internet.

SPORDER.dll is used to view the TCP/IP protocol stack. It is a favorite
target of spywares and can be deleted my anti-spywares checks, anti-virus
checks, spywares and viruses.
