Control Panel, netsetup.cpl

[Guest]

After I install SP2 for my XP media center, when I open Control Panel, I got
a error message for c:windows/system32/netsetup.cpl.

Please advise how to fix it.

Thanks! Ricky

Start your computer in Safe Mode, then go to
the System32/netsetup.cpl directory and delete the
netsetup.cpl file. Reboot.

Are you using Verizon? Or SBC?

netsetup.cpl is related to IPMON32. IPMON32 = IPMON32.exe

ipmon32.exe is an application from Verizon. It provides the user with
monitor diagnostic tools. It is known to consume large amount of resources.

I hate to recommend this, but I don't know another way...

Start | Run | Type: msconfig | OK |
Startup tab | UNCheck: IPMON32 | Click Apply |
Click OK | Reboot

[[Q: Is IP insight really needed?
A: No it's not necessary at all. It's a diagnostic tool that Verizon techs
can use to troubleshoot connection problems on your line. IP Insight is a
Quality of Service and/or diagnostic package - but it's not used by VOL at
this time - there's no back-end companion for tech support or NOC to use to
access it... It does send "phone home" data used to check latency and
network traffic occasionally, but like any other features that it contains
are unused or not implemented.]]

IPMon32.exe seems to be related to spyware.
