nope, im afraid not. but i removed a trojan names "Trojan.DNSChanger", but it didnt fix anything. Very strange.

Nothing's more refreshing than a clean Format and OS reinstall ^__^

Doesn't really take that long, You'll probably spend more time trying to fix the issue than you would doing bla bla bla, but have you tried system restore as well? that might help too, try to go back several days before the problem happened.

If I'm an idiot on the subject feel free to neg rep me ^__^

Maybe the trojan is gone, but the changes it made are still in effect.

Abrupt · 10-05-2008, 04:37 PM

That's what i figured, im doing a little research on what this thing did.
Edit: Wouldn't I of needed to backup my system if I would want to restore it?

when a new program is installed, a restore point is automatically created, usually. And by default XP creates restore points every so often. The restore will just reset your settings and uninstall any programs you might have added since the point that you use was created, any files you have will be left over. So no need to have backed up beforehand.

Google "Winsock reset" or something like that and follow instructions.

Abrupt · 10-05-2008, 05:52 PM

I seem to have bad luck, because system restore was disabled on my computer for some reason until i enabled it today. :(

Download WinSockFix 1.1.0.13 - WinSockFix - A free Winsock/Tcp repair utility - Softpedia

It is possible that it's a problem with your ISP. Have you tried giving them a call?

Abrupt · 10-08-2008, 02:03 AM

Yeah, i called my ISP already. They said it wasn't a problem on their end.
Also, I have already tried that program with no success.

Eppie · 10-08-2008, 02:20 AM

Is it just one computer, or all of them on your network?

Abrupt · 10-08-2008, 02:21 AM

My mom's laptop works fine, with wireless connection from this house.

That program will corrupt your winsock if you're running sp2 or sp3.

Go to control panel, administrative tools, services and check if DNS service is running.

Also try running this winsock fix; I uploaded here, rename it from .scx to .exe.
