Winsock reset question

[Guest]

Hello! I have recently had some issues that I thought were with my wireless
connection , however my cable service provider tells me it is a Windows
problem. I cannot connect to the internet because of a winsock error. I can
run the command
"netsh winsock reset catalog" and it usually resets everything. However
when I reboot I have the same issue all over again. Sometimes when I
re-establish the connections, my Outlook comes back all screwed up (technical
term!) and I have to do it a second time. SOmeone told me that this error
is often casued by spyware or a spyware remover. I have spybot and adaware
installed on my computer, but this issue did not start imediately following a
run. Now I am afraid to run them at all. What is the fix??
Thanks
