My computer was infected by the KeyHook.dll virus, which
lodged in the msin32.dll file. I deleted that file, but I
cannot find a replacement for it. I wonder what its
absence is doing and what damage the virus has done.

Why would you want a replacement for a virus file?
Msin32.dll is not a Windows file.
I suggest you read the details on your anti-virus site and see what
extra you have to do.

Steve, unlike you and me, but like millions of other users,
has no way to differentiate between an out and out virus carrier
and a genuine system or application file that has been infected
by a virus.

O.K. I guess that I have the answer - msin32.dll is the
virus.
