Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 95/98/Me: Winsock error message when installing on Windows 95

An error is occasionally reported on Windows 95 computers during the reboot after Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 95/98/Me, version 4.6 and above, is first installed:

A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:[number] in VXD WSOCK2(01)
+ 0000373B. The current application will be terminated.
* Press any key to terminate the current application.

This is caused by known issues where Windows 95 has been upgraded with Winsock2.
