Re: Control Panel error message

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Wesley,

Thanks. Found Visual IP InSight and uninstalled it. What about Verizon
Yahoo! Applications 88.11 MB? Normally I never download anything from an ISP
either. They hooked me with the free anti-virus from Computer Associates. I'm
not sure it even works that great. Shame on me for bending my rule.

thinman,

If you have Visual IP InSight, uninstall it. See...

My rule is to never, ever download any ISP's software.

Go to Add or Remove Programs from the Control Panel and look for Visual IP
InSight, IP InSight or similar and uninstall it.

Or Ask Verizon for help on how to get rid of it. I just looked around a
little at Verizon's website and got fed up and quit.

Thank you for the reply. I am using Verizon DSL. I downloaded their
security tools because of the free anti-virus. I don't use their bowser.
I use Explorer 7. Should I uninstall all Verizon plug-ins? I use Yahoo as
my home page. Now it displays Verizon Yahoo. I don't use anything from
Verizon except the anti-virus.

Thanks, thinman

Uninstall this crap!

You receive an "Error occurred while Windows was working with the Control
Panel file" error message when you open Control Panel in Windows XP SP2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892890

Are you using Verizon? Or SBC?

netsetup.cpl is related to IPMON32. IPMON32 = IPMON32.exe

ipmon32.exe is an application from Verizon. It provides the user with
monitor diagnostic tools. It is known to consume large amount of
resources.

[[Q: Is IP insight really needed?
A: No it's not necessary at all. It's a diagnostic tool that Verizon
techs can use to troubleshoot connection problems on your line. IP
Insight is a Quality of Service and/or diagnostic package - but it's not
used by VOL at this time - there's no back-end companion for tech
support or NOC to use to access it... It does send "phone home" data
used to check latency and network traffic occasionally, but like any
other features that it contains are unused or not implemented.]]

IPMon32.exe seems to be related to spyware.

C:\Program Files\Visual Networks\Visual IP InSight\SBC\IPMon32.exe

C:\Program Files\Verizon Online\Visual IP InSight\IPHook32.dll

Do You want to continue? I click yes and it works ok but the message is
annoying.

My operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 2. My Browser is
internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
