Do you have a firewall installed on said machine? Specifically do you have
it's settings set to "steal" or the like? Stealth mode is accomplished by
eating pings alive and not sending back a return packet saying anything -
not even authorative host not found etc.

Ah, that means that you MIGHT have not completely cleaned out the spyware.
Did you do so in safe mode? Did you rescan after you entered regular mode
again? Have you given LSP-Fix a shot? I know it's not something that you'd
think of right away with this sort of problem but it's cured similar issues
in the past.

Maybe not but it's well worth checking it just to see. It can't hurt
anything...

This can also be due to your WMI store being corrupted. To fix this, open a
command prompt and type the following:

netsh firewall reset

Try opening the firewall.cpl again and see if you see the same error again.
If so, then the LSP fix mentioned in this thread should be applied.
