Help! Malware Ate My Internet...

Getting a "Page cannot be displayed" or "Cannot find server" error message? The cause may be the result of a corrupt Winsock or missing Licensed Service Provider (LSP) brought on by malware. One of the easiest ways to resolve the issue is to use LSP-Fix to repair LSP issues. After using LSP-Fix, reboot the system and attempt to access the Internet. If the problem still persists, follow the instructions outlined in Microsoft KB811259 to determine and recover from Winsock corruption.

Note: the steps outlined in KB811259 are best suited for tech-savvy users. The less tech-inclined may wish to download WinSock XP Fix instead (for Windows XP only). Those using Windows 98/ME may wish to use Winsock2 Fix. While highly regarded by users, neither of these programs offer technical support and both should be used at your own risk.
