There is a perfectly good explanation for this. A lot of Spyware adds itself
as a part of the Winsock LSP. In some cases these may not be additions but
replacements. It is very easy for a Winsock to become corrupt especially
after a removal of a layer.
If you are using XP SP2:
Start - Run and typing "netsh winsock reset" (minus quotes)
If you are using pre-SP2 or 2k then the following article does the same
thing:

IE DOES NOT WORK, FIREWALL IS DISABLED, LOST MS WORD,
ROTTEN PIECE OF SOFTWARE!!!
THAT SOFTWARE TECH SHOULD BE FIRED!! OR MADE TO FIX THIS
MESS.
