I installed a software called Spybot from Jan 2005 magazine CD. It scanned my computer and brought forward some spy ware. It also included some registry entries. I suspected it might be dangerous to delete one of these entries (something about network) but I deleted it
. Now the problem is that whenever I connect to the internet, it although gets connected, but no page loads. In Firefox, as soon as you hit return key, it gives the error message, “<hostname> could not be found. Please check the name and try again.�, as if something is blocking it from accessing the internet.this thing occurs for every website. (Internet Explorer gives the “Cannot find server� message.) Is there any thing that I can do to repair the damage other than clean reinstall. I have Zone Alarm 5.5 installed.
The word of advice here is: Don't trust even the best magazine around blindly.
Also any suggestions.. Help me ASAP
A hard lesson.
