Features to Add: Winsock Fix/Repair

[Allen]

the advance tools on Microsoft Antispyware should have a
tool to fix and repair Winsock because many people had
problem of lost connections after removing of
Adware/Spyware components and other tools that modify the
XP network and Winsock settings. So people wouldn't have
to hack the registry to fix this problem or look for
other program to fix winsock so that people have internet
connection again. Also I don't know any Antispyware that
has a winsock fix/repair this would be a great tool for
Microsoft Antispyware.

I agree I had tons of machines with a winsock problem
because of adware/spyware. If this could be fixed
automatically it would be great.

Look for this to be a little bit better in a future release. I know that it
is difficult to get to the winsock fix KB when you have no network, so we
are working on a way to take care of that issue sooner as opposed to later.

Look for an improvement--perhaps in another beta build.
