DMR,

I tried going straight to the IPs and still it did not work. Interesting thing though, for the past wo weeks I was connected through another network and I had access to all sites. I guess...

DMR, your link to WinsockXPfix didn't work, but I tracked it down on another site. I ran it (the error did not occur) and it completed. After the reboot, still no dice.

Thanks for sticking...

I tried the Winsockfix program and received this message:

dlh, the ipba.exe file wasn't there to delete (missing right?). i did the rest and here is what i got:

DLH,

Just wanted to check in and see if there were any suggestions as to how to fix this problem. I think progress got cut off when the other two posted on this thread. Thanks.

Last week on a restart I received a message that said:

For both Netscape and Mozilla, the error (alert) message reads: "The connection ws refused when attempting to contact www.com"

It is a problem for all browsers. I primarily use Mozilla but the problem exists with all three.

The two main sites I have no access to are: www.us.army.mil and www.gmail.com (both used for email). Many other sites will allow access to the initial page but won't connect after submitting login...

No luck. Any more suggestion?

Is there a setting somewhere I can adjust to allow me access to sites I am recieving the "connection refused" message?

Here we go:

Since I have regained functionality of my AIM and IE, I have been getting a "connection refused" message when trying to load many sites. Any idea as to why this has started happening?

Thanks

I did not put those in the "trusted zone" but I searched the directory and that file doesn't exist. Anyway, the problems with IE and AIM have been solved. If you don't feel that what is left in...

The IEFix did not stop the termination error message when trying to run the Trend scan with IE. Otherwise all else worked out. Here is the new log:

Any updates on this one guys? Thanks

Crunchie, thanks for the help, here is the update:

I went through all the steps except the TrendMicro scan. The site seems to only be compatible with IE and I use FireFox because IE has given me...

CaperJack,

Thanks for the reply, but no luck. A lot of junk was removed with the directions you gave but the AIM termination persists. Here are the updated HJT and Stinger logs:

I think that the presence of the "Home Search Assistant", "Search Extender", & "Shopping Wizard" are causing my AIM to crash. I haven't noticed it causing problems anywhere else. Any ideas?

I've followed all the directions and I'm back up and running. Thanks so much, not having access was torture. I will gladly reference this site and service to all I know with problems. Thank you...
