WinSockFix offers a last resort if your Internet connectivity has been corrupted due to invalid or removed registry entries. It can often cure the problem of lost connections after the removal of Adware components or improper uninstall of firewall applications or other tools that modify the XP network and Winsock settings.
If you encounter connection problems after removing network related software, Adware or after registry clean-up; and all other ways fail, then give WinSock Fix a try.
It can create a registry backup of your current settings, so it is fairly safe to use. We actually tested it on a test machine that was having a Winsock problem due to some Adware removal, and after running the utility and rebooting, the connectivity was restored.

Used it literally dozens of times in the past several years. Also helps undo all the internet 'tweaks' that may have bolluxed up your throughput and LAN connections. It returns you to an almost 'fresh install' type state for your TCP/IP networking.
Pros
Does exactly what it's supposed to.
Cons
If you don't know what it's for, or how to use it... DONT USE IT!
