Unable to reach Windows Update website

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Ok I need some advice on two computer problems.



1.. Computer cannot connect to the internet. I removed a bunch of spy
ware from this computer and viruses. I am sorry; I don't recall exactly
which viruses and spy ware were removed. Basically I tried the Winsock fix,
delete both Winsock and winsock2 in the registry, reboot, and re-install
TCP/IP protocol. This worked after one reboot. After I reboot ONCE more it
stops working. I can't any www.domain.com but I can ping by IP address. I
tried using a USB network card but that didn't work either. Any ideas?
Computer is running WinXP Home with SP2 installed.
2.. Second computer, running WinXP Home with NO service packs installed.
Removed multiple viruses and spy ware entries. Unable to get to the
Microsoft Automatic Updates. I can get to other sites but not the Windows
Update.

Hi group, got asked to help a friends heavily infected machine, which had too numerous Trojans and ad ware to remember them all, but went to kaspersky to do an on-line scan, worked through the log killing files that had been highlighted as infected. ... So feeling confident that it was the only one left to hammer, i thought that maybe the blighter is called through one of the many dll's i had already nobbled, and decided a reboot would probably free up the file for deletion. ...
