Woops! Missed that question.

Well my protection is great to be honest. I've got Outpost firewall/antispyware optimized and avira antivirus.

Go Start>Run ("Start Search" in Vista/7), type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK (hold CTRL, and SHIFT, hit Enter in Vista/7).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy (with Vista/7, most likely, you won't need it).
If System File Checker (sfc) will find any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD (rarely in Vista/7 case).

Okay did that. It found no issues

[Broni]

It won't tell you.
See, if you'll keep getting same errors.

Using the command you mentioned, you would be right. But I used command prompt so I could see what was going on.

Here's what I got...

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

Let's try to replace tcpip.sys file with different copy.

Please download OTM

• Save it to your desktop.
• Please double-click OTM to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
• Copy the lines in the codebox below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy):

:Processes

:Services

:Reg

:Files
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\tcpip.sys|C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-tcpip-binaries_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.22341_none_b563eb1d7cc9b0c2\tcpip.sys /replace
	  
:Commands
[purity]
[resethosts]
[emptytemp]
[Reboot]

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste Instructions for Items to be Movedwindow (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
• Click the red Moveit! button.
• Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar) to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it in your next reply.
• Close OTM and reboot your PC.

Note: If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes. In this case, after the reboot, open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTMoveIt\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and copy/paste the contents of that document back here in your next post.
