After I installed the antispyware it found a bunch of
spyware on my XP Pro SP2 machine. Allowed the s/w to
clean it and now I am having intermittent DNS problem. If
I click a link or type a URL I get page cannot be
displayed but if I again click the go button or do a
refresh I will be able to reach the site. This is
happening for almost all the sites. I have another XP Pro
machine and that does not have this problem.I have tried
the following with no luck:

1) tried the netsh winsock reset command.
2) tried the winsockfix.exe
3) Deleted the registry entru for winsock and winsock2.
reinstalled the TCP/IP protocol.

None of them were able to fix it. Any idea how to resolve
this.
Can I do system restore to go back to state it was before
I installed the Anti-Spyware? It is really frustating to
keep hitting go for every page.

Thanks
Ravi

You can do System Restore and go back--I'd recommend just before you scanned
and removed stuff, if that's possible, rather than before the install, but
either should put the executing system back exactly as it was.

Is that the only solution? Is there nothing microsoft
knows about to fix this issue. From the posts looks like
lot of people are having DNS issue after the install.

The main symptom I am spotting and know how to deal with is when the Winsock
LSP stack is broken because of the removal of either malware, or in some
cases, false-positives.

In that case, the network is dead--nothing subtle!
