A virus in Winsock LSP

You could use LSP fix

I did it. It didn't find problems. That means
It got corrected.
I will keep it in the computer in case I get a similar problem
in the future.

I unistalled AVG but before that I went to Vault and
clicked in the 4 files with  laf1.dll  and clicked
"heal" and then clicked "restore". I don't know if that did
something. I know that after that the computer was still
not getting access to the Internet.
After I followed Tech and DavidR instructions and then reset the
modem I got the connection back. Wow, thank God!

I will download Avast back.

THANKS A LOT TO ALL OF YOU,
Receive my admiration.

It you have got your internet connection back, the adage, "if it isn't broken don't fix it applies" so I would say you don't need to do that.

That location that Tech gave is just another tool to similar to the lspfix.exe tool again if things are working I would say leave well alone. However it does other things than just repair the internet connections, so a visit wouldn't hurt and if there is something you feel might be a bonus then the decision is yours.

Hi essexboy
I already did what DavidR and Tech told me and I got it. It said that winsock catalog was reset. I then unplugged the modem, reset the connection, plugged the
cable back and I finally got the Internet back.
Should I follow your instructions anyway ?

should I go  to http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Network-Tweak/WinSockFix.shtml as suggested by Tech, anyway ?

Thanks a lot.

No if it works don't touch it
