No internet after virus/malware removal? Try a winsock reset Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10

Have you recently removed a program/virus/malware and all of the sudden you cant access the internet anymore?

This issue has been going on for a number of years and during my support days at a large ISP this was a common issue during the Windows XP era.

If you have a valid IP address and can ping a web page via its IP address but not by its FDQN then you may have a windsock issue.

Please be advised that use the information below at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damages these commands may inadvertently cause.


Winsock Reset in Windows XP

  1. Click the Start button in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
     
  2. Click the Search option in the right-hand column.
     
  3. Type “cmd” in the search box and then hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
     
  4. Right-click on cmd in the search results for Programs, and select Run as administrator. Depending on your computer settings, you may be asked to provide an administrator password before you can continue.
     
  5. A black box with a flashing cursor will open; this is the Command Prompt. Type “netsh winsock reset” and then hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
     
  6. Wait for the Command Prompt to run through the reset. Once it’s complete, you’ll see the message “Winsock reset completed successfully”.
     
  7. Restart your computer to finish.
