If you are having problems after removing Spyware....

http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

This utility should be used if, after removing spyware/malware, you are no
longer able to connect to the internet.

If LSPFix doesn't help, winsockxpfix might (Windows XP only):
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html

**Note, if you are using XP SP2 the following command, run from start/run,
may get your computer going again - it will reset the winsock catalogue:
netsh winsock reset
