Hi Ed :-)
Often in teh course of removing a virus or spyware, the connection is lost,
or the Winsock is damaged or corrupted. Try the following and see if it
helps.
Download, install and run a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.
Also, download, install and run a copy of WINSOCKXPFIX available at:
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
and
WinsockXP Fix- WinXP
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
Also, with instructions, at

also ....
(NOTE: It is reported that in XP SP2, the command netsh winsock reset
will fix this problem without the need for these programs.)
or ........

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 :)
