Use the first procedure below if you are on Windows XP, Service Pack 2:
Otherwise, use the second.

1) (Winsock reset for xpsp2)

netsh winsock reset

enter
restart machine.

2) (winsock reset for 2k, xp pre sp2, and 2003 pre sp1)

Your computer probably got infected by the "Prutect"
which would shut down antispyware s/w and firewall. Try
to run the microsoft antispyware scan with deep scan
feature. I had the same problem in my computer. The bad
part is the Microsoft Antispyware cannot really clean it
up. As long as you reboot the system, the problem will
come back. You will find the "Prutect" in the Registry
again. So far, I don't see any solution provided by any
company or anyone. The only solution that I aware of is
to reformat your hard disk. I think if someone can notify
microsoft, we may be able to get a fix from them much
faster.
