LSPfix/No internet

Hey everyone i got a problem. See I downloaded LSPfix to help get rid of the new VX2 maleware that is ravaging the internet. So without without thinking instead of just deleting the files that I needed to I deleted ALL of the files that it listed. Now my old computer wont connect to the internet anymore. Is there a way to find out what files I deleted or some way to get back on the internet agian with out resorting to a reformatting? Oh and that computer has windows 2000 professional btw

 

Oh man, LSP-FIX should NEVER be used without asking someone about it first. Not only did you break the LSP CHAIN you removed the whole thing. So lets rebuilt it. Follow me below:

PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE MODIFYING THE REGISTRY!

1) Click Start, and then click Run.

2) In the Open box, type Regedit, and then press ENTER.

3) Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock

4) On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File.

5) In the File name box, type the name of the backup file; for example, type Winsock Registry key, and then click Save. Note the name of the folder in which the registration file is saved.

6) Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

7) Delete the following keys from the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2
NOTE: Steps 3 through 6 backed up the two registry keys. You can use the backup files to restore the keys in the event that your computer displays unexpected behavior. For more information about how to restore registry keys from .reg files, search the Registry Editor Help files for the Import or export registry keys topic.


8) Close the Registry Editor.

9) Uninstall the TCP/IP protocol. To do this, follow these steps:
a) In Control
Panel, click Network and Dial-up Connections, right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.

b) Under Components checked are used by this connection, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Uninstall.

c) Follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall TCP/IP.

10) Restart your computer, and then reinstall TCP/IP if it is not installed automatically:
a) In Control Panel, double-click Network and Dial-up Connections, right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.
b) Click Install.
c) In the Select Network Component Type dialog box, click Protocol, and then click Add.
d) Under Manufacturers, click Microsoft, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) under Network Protocol, and then click OK.
e) Follow the on-screen instructions to install TCP/IP.

11) Reset your modem by turning the power off and then on.

12) Test your Internet connectivity.

Let me know is this works. Thanks!

Also LSP-FIX is NOT for VX2, its for corrupted WinSock2.

I couldnet complete step #9b because i get this message that says Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is still required by the following components.... Print services for Unix.

 

So I find out where this "Print services for Unix" is and try to uninstall it but I cant. I mean it just wont go away, it says that 0.0 megabytes are installed. I tryed checking the box and unchecking the box while trying to uninstall it but it just doesnt seem to do anything and when I go back to uninstall the TCP/IP drivers mentioned in step 9b it still says I need to uninstall the Print services. So can anyone help me with this small but very annoying problem?

 

UPDATE: Still no progress...
