I installed Spyware Blaster and CWshredder yesterday and now I can not access the internet. I have and Dell running XP wirelessly networked to a Compaq running 98. However, I know it's not the router or connection because I am online right now with the Compaq (problem is on the Dell with XP. Anyway, the address it pulls up evertime is 404ads.net.8000/redirect. Have no idea what this is but I think it has something to do with me not being able to pull up any other websites. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!!

Please download the WinSockXP fix on a PC with the internet:

Save it to a floppy, CD, or thumbdrive, and run it on the infected computer. Your troubled computer will restart, then see if you can get back on the internet. <_<

None yet, it might take a day or two for the code to be fixed.

2 things, the first one might not fix the problem, but maybe. The second one you will probably be asked sooner or later, so lets just do it now.


Which computer is connected to the internet service? If it is the xp computer follow this first step and see if that gets you connected.
First go to the broken xp machine and go to control panel, network and internet connections, network connections. Right click on your local area connection, click properties, select Internet Protocol (tcp/ip) and click properties. Make sure obtain IP address automatically is selected and obtain dns server address automatically is selected too. Click the alternate configuration tab up at the top and make sure automatic private ip address is selected. Click start, run, type cmd hit enter. Type each line and hit enter after each one.

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /all

Write down what it says after you type ipconfig /all. I may need to get that information from you in a little while. Now this is all assuming you are on a broadband connection. If you are not then what type do you have.

Next step.
Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log back here with the results.

Click the HijackThis Guide in my signature, download it and follow the instructions in the guide.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.

Run this program on the broken pc, if you cannot connect to the internet with it by now then copy the program file to a disk and put it on the other comupter so we can see what is on it.

After ipconfig/renew

An error occured while renewing interface LAN2: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket


After ipconfig/all

OK, I was able to get Winsock on my computer with XP ( the one with the problem) and now am back on line. However, I noticed I know have a bunch of unwanted Spyware and icons on my desktop again. Which was the reason I loaded Spyblaster, etc in the first place. Any suggestions?
