TCP/IP in XP

[Guest]

I have an XP box that cannot access server resources or the Internet after
cleaning out some spyware/adware/malware. I cannot uninstall TCP/IP from the
network connection dialogue box. How can I unload TCP/IP from Command Prompt
so that I can do a complete reinstall of the protocol?

Does this help?
