I am running Avira Free and PC Tools Firewall plus on my Toshiba NB205 with Windows XP. THis computer accesses the internet wirelessly through a Verizon FIOS router. Had encountered some slow internet performance and ran a full system scan with Avira - 10 detections were found and Avira advised that some windows components were damaged and to install the XP SP3 CD (which of course I don't have - but I do have an old XP system CD). I was getting poorer and poorer internet connectivity until finally no connection. I ran the IE Diagnose Connection Problems multiple times. The logs - which I've lost indicated WinSock and LSP issues. I've run various winsock repair tools, reset the TCP/IP, but don't seem to have any luck. Appreciate any help you could offer.

I did run Hijack This with these results:

  • Please Do not Attach logs or put in code boxes.
  • Tell me about any problems that have occurred during the fix.
  • Tell me of any other symptoms you may be having as these can help also.
  • Do not run anything while running a fix.


We apologize for the delay in responding to your request for help. Here at Bleeping Computer we get overwhelmed at times, and we are trying our best to keep up. Please note that your topic was not intentionally overlooked. Our mission is to help everyone in need, but sometimes it takes just a little longer to get to every request for help. No one is ignored here.

Click on the Watch Topic Button and select Immediate Notification and click on proceed, this will help you to get notified faster when I have replied and make the cleaning process faster.

In order for me to see the status of the infection I will need a new set of logs to start with.

Gringo,
Thanks for the response. Please close this topic. Since I was still able to access all my data, I copied the files and just used the restore disk to re-image the computer. Everything is back working again (after over 100 Microsoft XP Updates!)
