Your suffering from Winsock2 corruption, I get alot of this in longhorn and the new media center windows. Microsoft kabse article : 811259 lists these steps as the resolution :
Step 1: Delete the corrupted registry keys
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In Registry Editor, locate the following keys, right-click each key, and then click Delete:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock2
4. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
Note Restart the computer after you delete the Winsock keys. Doing so causes the Windows XP operating system to create new shell entries for those two keys. If you do not restart the computer after you delete the Winsock keys, the next step does not work correctly.
Step 2: Install TCP/IP
1. Right-click the network connection, and then click Properties.
2. Click Install.
3. Click Protocol, and then click Add.
4. Click Have Disk.
5. Type C:\Windows\inf, and then click OK.
6. On the list of available protocols, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click OK.
7. Restart the computer.

Alright. I really thought that with SP2, using browsers like maxthon, popup blockers and what not, that getting shit installed on your computer from websites was a thing of the past. Nope, i was wrong, a couple of days ago, some asshole on gfy posted some links (cant remember what they were). I went there, see popups, and immideately theres program after program being executed (task manager).
I grab adaware/spybot/kaspersky/hijack this, reboot in safe mode, kill all the shit (some manually), and restart.
All the stuffs gone, my computer appears to be clean but my internet is severely fucked.
theres a nice little summary of whats going on. Apparantly, winsock is buggered up, or something in the registry is not quite right (note, this is AFTER removing all viruses, doing a repair with my xp cd). My ip appears to be local 127.0.0.1, and not the 129.128 one its supposed to be. 10.0.0.1 is a network ip that i have to connect to via SSH for access to the internet.
In IE, evreything shows up as 'page cannot be displayed'. Firefox shows a blank page. Clearly requests arent being properly at all it seems.
I dont know what the fuck to do, im all out. I dont use system restore or registry backups cause im an idiot. A decade of computing and nothing has raped me like this before. Any suggestions on what to do?
