Hi,
Im a newbee here and I registered because i have a problem on my other computer and i was hoping that someone can help me.
Im running a cable modem from my isp and well I get a internet signal when i ping a website outside of the server using dos prompt...and i am also able to get email using outlook but for some reason i cant use IE6
It was working fine until i ran a spyware program that took off the spyware on my computer...but it seems as tho it took off something important...I ran the spyware remover and virus scanner cause i been recieving a lot of pop ups even tho i have a pop up blocker...
Well to make a long story short...my IE6 dont work...its not my internet connection...and every time i enter a address in the bar i get a "internet search cant be found" or something like that come up in a error box. If i manually put in HTTP://... and the address it just takes me too the defult unable to display screen...
I have tried to intall 5.5 but it still dont work...i reinstalled 6 and it didnt work...no webpages comes through but i do recieve mail...weird...
If anyone can help me and tell me what i must do to get it up and running again, I thank you in advance...Thanks for your time guys...

Quoting myself to another board member:
One of your likely bits of malware replaced part of your Winsock chain with its own stuff. When you removed it, you "broke the chain". Here is the link to LSPFix, (<- clickable link) which should help.
The user replied with:
It worked! And here's the process order...
* Run LSPfix.
* Delete all Dial-up adapters and network protcols.
* Delete all Winsock and Winsock2 registry folders.
* Under Add/Remove programs uncheck all of the listings under Communications.
* Reboot and then add back ALL the Communications items (although netmeeting and chat weren't necessary). It didn't work for me the first time as I have no need for a dial-up adapter, but it is the only way to get Windows to add back winsock2.
* Reinstall network protocol settings.
