    FWIW

     It appears that some individuals that have installed the beta of MS =

    antispyware and were infected with spyware on  XP sp2  have network =
related=20
    problems ( windows firewall cannot be enabled, can't connect to =

    There are known spyware programs that install layered service =
providers=20
    (LSPs) on client computers to gather user data. When Windows =
AntiSpyware=20
    (Beta) removes spyware programs, it also removes the spyware-based =
LSPs.=20
    However, Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) does not restore any LSPs after =
it=20
    removes the spyware.

    To resolve this problem if you are running Microsoft Windows XP =
Service Pack=20
    2 (SP2), follow these steps:

    1. Rebuild the Winsock LSP chain. To do this, follow these steps:

    a.  Log on to the Microsoft Windows XP workstation as an =
administrator.
    b.  Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
    c.  At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:

    netsh Winsock reset

    When the program is finished, you will receive the following =
message:
    Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog. You must restart the machine =

    order to complete the reset.
