WinSock XP Fix 1.2
Fixes the winsock settings on your Windows XP machine. This tool is
recommended for IT professionals only. Please read license.

It can often cure the problem of lost connections after the removal of
Adware components or improper uninstall of firewall applications or other
tools that modify the XP network and Winsock settings.

If you encounter connection problems after removing network related
software, Adware or after registry clean-up; and all other ways fail, then
give WinSock XP Fix a try.

It can create a registry backup of your current settings, so it is fairly
safe to use. We actually tested it on a test machine that was having a
Winsock problem due to some Adware removal, and after running the utility
and rebooting, the connectivity was restored.
