Internet stopped working for no reason

July 10, 2008

When I came home, I was getting errors every time a program tried to connect

to the internet. They went something like "C:/WINDOWS/system32/mswsock.dll is

not a valid Windows image". I downloaded and replaced the file with one from

but now I get error 10050 (WSAENETDOWN) every time. Spybot S&D found no

problems and AVG is running right now, so I don't think it's a virus.

Any suggestions?
