    Well I got infected with a hole boat load of Spyware which I managed to remove unfortunetly there was one side effect. After I finished cleaning everthing none of my internet applications worked other then IE and MSN messanger, not even Firefox. I am completely baffled my only hint is that when I was cleaning up all of the spyware a popup appeared saying that you have been infected with spyware and the fallowing ports have been closed by windows. Note: I do not remember the port numbers nor do I know how to open or close them nor did I close or click ok on that popup, I simply ignored it assuming it was more spyware.

    If anyone can help I would much appreciate it.

    Do you have a third-party firewall installed, the SP2 (if installed) firewall active, or any other internet security programs?

    Nope no firewalls nor have I installed SP2, I do have Spysweeper and Ad-Aware installed but thats about it when it comes to security software.
