Spyware

[Lewis]

After I have loaded and run spyware beta, and remove all
the threats, and close out the window.Somehow it closes the
port for me to access the internet. I have to go to a
restore pt. before I run spyware. What is the solution to
this problems Thanks.

Likely what is happening here is that Microsoft
Antispyware is removing the spyware from the system and
in doing so, you are left with what's known as
a "winsock" corruption. The language used by the computer
to communicate is called tcp/ip and when cleaning the
spyware out you are knocked off the internet. This is
not necessarily a bad thing because you are getting
cleaned out ... but the "winsock" must be re-installed to
repair the defect. If you call in for microsoft
technical support they can fix this quickly ... Remeber
that the Microsoft Antispyware is in the Beta stage and
has a few bugs ... i'm sure this will be corrected with
future scans.
