I get a WSAEAFNOSUPPORT 10047 :
Address family not supported by protocol family.
An address incompatible with the requested protocol was
used. All sockets are created with an associated address
family (that is, AF_INET for Internet Protocols) and a
generic protocol type (that is, SOCK_STREAM). This error
is returned if an incorrect protocol is explicitly
requested in the socket call, or if an address of the
wrong family is used for a socket, for example, in
sendto.

I don't know what to do next.
Can annyone help me ?

Somewhere further up this newsgroup I found the solution :

I followed
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
and it fixed it

Thanx Robert!!!

It appears that the Spyware needs the ports that the
firewall uses--check in Open Microsoft Anti Spyware - go
to Options -settings-Spynet anti spyware community,look
to the right and you will see a link for firewall
information. It would seem that it does establish itself
as your firewall, by restricting "port" access
How do you control what can and cannot come through a
port???

Microsoft Antispyware does NOT substitute for a firewall in any way shape,
or form, and shouldn't interfere with one either.

Some spyware removal operations do disrupt the Winsock LSP stack, and that's
what started this thread.

Two workable solutions were posted, and Microsoft has a KB article
specifically about this issue with this beta product:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892350


As Marks reference should show, you can open or close ports, and you can
forward traffic on a particular port, in some cases changing the port on the
destination side as you forward. These are all functions of a firewall,
including the Windows firewall.
