Symptoms :
That usually happens when you have a problem assigning an ip address to your computer , ( Computer wont get an ip even when the DHCP server is available , an IP conflict scenario ) …
Anyway the Virus/Trojan tends to damage Windows (Winsock) / LSP (Layered service provider) , And no matter what you do ( repair , release , renew , replace your NIC , a new CAT5 cable , reinstall drivers etc … ) it wont work …
I have found couple of utilities that does the job , it will repair Winsock LSP and remove the virus/trojan …
1: LSPFix

Happy surfing 🙂
hmm probably it was a spyware because it garbaged the pings too …
true,i was fixing my friend’s Home PC and his sisters did use Kazaa .
oh ya ,One of the errors was :
it happens when you try to IPCONFIG/RENEW command …
Yes its better to call unidentified soldier before doing anything stupid 😀
We have no experts but him !!!
I got the similar problem long time ago, but it was not casued by a virus, it was a plugin for new domain extenions (that what they say), sometimes it’s installed with a spyware package like Kazaa, the Symptoms are the same, plus if you ping any address, it throws some garbage characters with the result.
Anyway, i used LSP-Fix to fix the problem, plus HJT (HijackThis) to remove the spyware manualy (Not Recomeded for beginners), because it was re-installing again.
one more thing, if your a beginner first do your research before playing with those tools, they may cause more damage if don’t know how to use them, or better call for an expert help, I mean real experts, not regular computer shops, computer shop will have one answer, Reinstalling Windows.
oh well Kazaa yayks …
I really didn’t like Kazaa & it types , once i met limewire & bit torrents , a new Era has started !
Aghhh IPcop is one great fast solution eyh ? Smoothwall is kinda the same but i always preferred Ipcop !
Man, I hit the jackpot, when I thought that I was getting rusty.
Also Kazaa EULA (End User license Agreement), states it’s installing third party softwares that they won’t be responsible of the effects on your system, plus you can’t claim any money they make for displaying ads on your PC,Any way who cares about that, right, we just click I agree without reading.
Interesting, I didn’t try that, but when I refresh the IP address from GUI, it gives some error message I don’t recall it now.
Yes, Just call UiS services, remember “We Snipe your tech problems”
Well, Moody your an expert too, without you I didn’t know about IPCop that helps me a lot these days.
