Error: Not a Winsock error
I'm trying to update a program which is a bit old, using its "web grab updater" when I do, I get the message:
Error: Not a Winsock error
is there a way to get this thing to update or a fix available?
Hello
What changes have been made on your computer before this problem?
What is the program that you are referring to here?
I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the program and then try to update. Since the issue is with a third-party program, I would recommend you to contact publishers and check what they have to say about this error message.
Let us know if this helps
Concerning

Missing links after a Malware attack
XP Pro, IE8, OE6
My old father-in-law of 94 is suspected of by clicking on a link in an email from "Solutions from PC" he received as bait the reader with 'If you can't read this email, click here', followed by the Pandemonium, then ends by "we can fix your computer for $79, just click here. Fortunately, it has not executed this last step ($$). It won't just admit it. In any case...
MSE has completely failed me. I've since returned to Malwarebytes online malware protection. So to make a long story short... the office photo disappeared (only in blue BSOD), programs in the start folder Menu was completely empty (but because the programs were all still there in Program Files), administration tools and accessories were empty and the system restore didn't work. The malware "System Check" was bad. Malwarebytes would not work. I scanned with MSE and cleaned up the bad guys (AFTER infection :-(), deleted and reinstalled Malwarebytes and it ran, but the damage was done. I ran SDFix and it was clean and then displayed. Bringing more hidden links, but not all. System Restore worked now but I had to fire through the window RUN (no links anywhere). But the old restore files have apparently been corrupted and none would complement a restore (get about 1/2 way on the progress bar, then quickly complete 100% restart and then "unable to finish restoration". Internet has never stopped working, if it's not the kicker. First time I had seen that happen with a coup of malware. Usually, at least a proxy is checked, if not a winsock problem.
Everything works now, but I'm missing a bunch of links again and I was wondering how to recover them, short of a repair installation. Adminstrative Tools is empty, both record programs and in the control panel. Many start/program Menu folders are still empty, entertainment is empty, Sytem Tools contains only the IE link (no add-on), and root C contains three records of recycler (recycler, recycle (2) and Recyler (3).) I don't know what these are, but they each contain a couple of folders that contain application files names you see in the registry as "S23984q32098u3948234" - I made this one.
Could / should I copy the links from my computer (both XP Pro) and hope this works if their paths are the same? Are there certain keys regsitry that I need to change/remove?
Any suggestion would be great. Thank you

Unable to recover the TCP/IP connectivity & corrupt Winsock keys with error code 11003
After being unable to solve the problems created by the McAfee download causing failure DComm and lost connectivity I uninstalled SP 3 and reinstalled.
I have a corrupted Winsock2 registry and auto config proxy TCP/IP keys and detect the proxy appear as 'not available '.
I tried to reset TCP/IP using netsh int ip reset c:\ reseting.txt and also the use of the patch tool. The error code is the function IntHelper.dll in IPMONTR. DLL could start with error code 11003.
I am able to visual determine that the winsock keys are corrupted, as described in kb/811259. I tried to reset the winsock2 registry keys by using the netsh winsock reset command. The error code is the IntHelperDll function in IPMONR. DLL could start with error code 11003.
I would like any suggestions or ideas that anyone can have for the restoration of connectivity.
Oh, and I'm not going to use McAfee products in the future.
Thank you.

Check that your antivirus (all-in-one suite If you have one) is not turn off your network traffic.
Note the devices installed in the machine. Use this information to download the latest version of the drivers and software for the manufacturer's Web site features (on another machine and store on an external support, I suppose, would be the only way for you to do.)
Uninstall the software/drivers for network devices. Turn it back on. Even if pilots are found/installed automatically, manually update the drivers & software using the files you downloaded earlier.
Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:
Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

Hello, I'm not able to get online at all sites with my system XP displays a 404 error code after a Trojan horse (trojan. ADH.2) was found and quarantined by norton. The system is slow or bottleneck at all, but I think that the registry has taken hostage by this Trojan horse. I tried to run Add ons, reset IE8, reinstall IE8 offline, I tried different users, tried to run a different browser (firefox). I can ping all the sites in the cmd prompt, but have no luck connection in the browser. A ran mohamed, superspyware, spybot. Is that what I can do without having to re install? I don't have the OS XP Media.
original title: error 404 on all sitesI wouldn't worry IPSec.
I think the most important things to address are:1 search for rootkits.2 empty the DNS.3 reset the proxy settings.4 reset the TCP/IP and Winsock settings.Good luck! -

error: "an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket"
Suddenly, I have no connection to my pc which is connected directly to my d-link cable. Other computers that use wireless have no problem. My system shows "the network has not assigned a network address of the computer"... then I tried, by messages on this site, to run cmd and ipconfig/renew and ipconfig/release. After renew, I get an error "an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket".
ideas?Hi sdams,
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2. do you have security software installed on the computer?
This error would occur if the Winsock registry keys are damaged or corrupted.
Refer to the article below and reset the Winsock settings to default and see if it helps.

I need help to find out why the SSTP service on my lapyop will not start.

Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file.
The dll that service points is actually in the system32 directory, and I even replaced with that of another phone exact same that's working and I still get the error.
I tried sfc/scannow and some not found errors.
Everything is said in the event log is that the service could not start because the specified module could not be found.
