Default Winsock Error or Host File Problem?

If you have problems with all sites, it may not be a hosts file

problem.
Check it out.

It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.


Henri,

Thank you very much for your help. Lspfix.exe solved the problem! The
offending malware was from newnet, the example given on the lspfix
description page, and it popped up right away in the "remove" window of
LSPfix.

That was the easiest fix I've ever done. I'm certainly glad you pointed
me to it. I NEVER would have guessed this is what it was.

Sincerely,
Bruce
