Nice Sypware program

[James]

There is so much spyware and tracking software on the
net, maintenance is a daily chore anymore. This has
become more of a reality reading the complaints about
this program. I have this program running on three
systems; with no problems. The internet loss is more than
likely a "winsock" highjack. Any removal of such a hold
on your system will take out your protocol. If you have
windows socket 2 problems (xp) go this link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259 . I also recommend
running Spybot search and destroy http://www.safer-
networking.org/en/index.html The combination spyware I
use is Spywareblaster, Ad-Aware, Spybot search and
destroy and the Microsoft Beta 1 you can find the others
on your search engines. If you want to see how vulnerable
your open ports are go to this site

not an expert but over the years I've learned to keep my
systems clean with a few safeguards.

Also, my KB article
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;892350) goes into
the detail on why this happens, and includes steps for XPSP2 (netsh winsock
reset).
