I don't know about removing the other file, but, if you back up the
Registry, you can try it. You can always replace it if necessary.

Certainly spyware removal can and often does cause various problems and
corruptions. I might suggest that you try the following and see if it
helps. Doing so won't hurt if it does not cure the problem.

Download, install and run the WinsockFix Utility
http://www.dfwonline.net/files/WinsockFix.zip

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 :)
