Internet Problems(IPCONFIG)

[Casey]

Earlier when I attempted to get rid of a virus(ntos.exe) I rebooted and lost
my internet connection. I also had about 10 Winsock LSPs of zmmeacauuw.dll
and another time with another dll appear at that time.

When I typed "IPCONFIG /RENEW" I got the following message.

An error occured while resolving interface Local Area Connection : An
operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.


I have run Spybot S&D multiple times trying to get rid of the Win32Agent.pz,
as NOD32 does not detect it. I have also searched google for help on
removing it, but all people recommend are "try using an antivirus program"
and obviously it does not detect it so it won't fix it.

I dont need to know how to remove it just yet, I just need to know how to
get my internet working again on that computer so I can work on getting it
removed a bit quicker.

Maybe one of these.

Click Start, Run, type:

netsh winsock reset

Press Enter key

Restart the system

According to ESET, NOD32 detects it.
