I just ran ad aware on my computer. It found several files and I deleted
them. After finishing, Internet Explorer opens but it will not open any web
sites. My Outlook Express works just fine so I know I am connected. I tried
uninstalling and re-installing Internet Explorer through Control Panel, but
it did not help. Any Ideas?
 
I have the same damn problem. I've done just about every suggestion posted
on this support site without an luck, including: resetting IP stack, fixing
winsock, etc.

Funny thing is, I can browse website fine in Safe mode. I just cannot
determine where the problem lies in normal mode. Its really ticking me off.
 
Hi daj37745 :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Download, install and run LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Also, get a copy of WinsockFix Utility
http://www.dfwonline.net/files/WinsockFix.zip
or
WinsockXPFix available at:
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
and
WinsockXP Fix- WinXP
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
Also, with instructions, at
http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm
also
From LavaSoft- all versions of Windows-
http://digital-solutions.co.uk/lavasoft/whndnfix.zip
also ....
(NOTE: It is reported that in XP SP2, the command netsh winsock reset
will fix this problem without the need for these programs.)

If you can not download these programs from the Internet, if your PC
has CD read capabilities, go to another computer with CD-ROM burning
capabilities. Create a folder on the hard drive of the other computer called
HOLD, download the programs to that folder, then burn that folder to a CD.
Copy the HOLD folder to your HD, install the programs from there and run
them. .

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps

Jan :)
