Recently (about two weeks) I've been getting 1-2 Winsock errors a day. These let me stay on internet mediums such as IRC, AIM, MSN and other things that don't need a web page to load for them to work, but it requires that I either log out or restart to fix them.
In terms of fixing it more permentantly, I've tried scanning for virii/spyware, no results found. Tried a rootkit detector, no results found. Tried using a microsoft FixIt tool, which didn't work and a Winsockfixer tool off of CNET.
Does anyone have any ides what might be causing these errors, or, how to fix it? Its very annoying as a lot of what I do involves loading web pages.
