The above KB article explains the issue and gives fixes which don't involve
third-party utilities--of which there are at least three.

My favorite citation for a third-party utility for this purpose is:

http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm

But--none of these fixes need be done unless network connectivity is
impacted by the spyware removal. If you run these as a matter of course
after spyware removal, you run the risk of removing legitimate third-party
LSP's from the chain.
 
What OS and SP level? The KB citation has two different methods--one for XP
SP2, and the other for all earlier versions covered by this beta--you have
to follow a link to a second KB, and use the workaround paragraph in that
second KB article to do the fix in the older versions, as I recall. That's
why I often post the third-party utility. I do post one which isn't useful
on WinMe or earlier, because those Windows versions aren't covered by this
beta.
 
Only if you get in a mix connecting back to the Internet would you need it.
As Bill mentions, you can hit the KB or just do a manual reset of the stack.
