Hello,
Recently i had a maleware or something attack my computer and since then my IE/FF not working anymore. I have done quiet a few different scan's to make sure that this maleware was removed. I can still get mail via outlook and such but nothing on IE7/FF.
I have tried
lspfix
winsockfix
atf-cleaner
vundofix
superantispyware
malewarebytes
removed nortons
nothing has helped
i've gone throught he walkthrough to make sure my winsock wasn't corrupt. It was msising a few things but i followed theinstructions on the microsoft site and got it to where they said it should be but still nothing.
I run the Diagnostic and get
Winsock Status
Info Error attempting to validate the Winsock base providers: 2
error Not all base service provider entries could be found in the winsock
catalog. A reset is needed.
then in the http,https,ftp diagnostic i get this
info FTP (Passive): Successfully connected to ftp.microsoft.com
warn HTTP: Error 12029 connecting to www.microsoft.com:
connection with the server could not be established.
info HTTPS: Successfully connected to www.microsoft.com
warn HTTP: Error 12029 connecting to www.hotmail.com: A
Connection with the server could not be established
error Could not make an HTTP Connection
please help, i have been searching the net for days and doing everything i read and have come up with nothing.

i honestly don't know what exactly we use to connect out. I'm pretty sure we have a t1 connection. Connected to a router.
Not sure why one of those would start all of a sudden though? i use to have norton on the PC but was reading that might be the problem so i removed it. As of right now i'm using the XP built in firewall. and NO AV program.

What is your architecture for your outside connection? Specifically, what are you using to connect out? Does it have a built in fire wall or could the imbedded Microsoft Firewall be on and blocking your traffic? I only ask because we had a similar issue recently and it was based off the firewall preventing a connection via http sites....but everything else was working fine.
