Thank you Claudiuc   I have passed the link to the malware staff at G2G as I had one case post there yesterday where he had deleted rather than chested the file

I'm on XP.  I think my TCPIP was deleted as well so I found this

To Reinstall TCP/IP

To do this you need a copy of nettcpip.inf.  There is one on the Windows XP CD and there may be one on your hard drive at C:\WINDOWS\inf\nettcpip.inf. Note: To see the inf folder, open My Computer and go to the menu item Tools > Folder Options... > View > and choose Show hidden files and folders.

Right click "My Network Places" select Properties.
Right click the connection(s) and select Properties.
Click Install >Protocol >add >have disk.
Browse to the location of nettcpip.inf .
Select nettcpip.inf then click Open then OK then Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) then OK then Close
Reboot

I just tried it and my internet worked again.  Just sharing.

1. The easiest way to restore tcpip.sys is to "Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore" (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084/en)

2. I am surprised. Several days have passed, but Avast team still didn't fix an issue. My Avast still warn me every morning about suspicious tcpip.sys in Windows XP!
