Sep 09, 2011 It sent me this message when I tried to launch uTorrent: wsastartup failed or you have the incorrect version of winsock installed. I reinstalled internet explorer but it didn't solve the problem ( uTorrent aswell.) I suspect some files, vital ones (especially internet affected files) got harmed because of the unsuccessful system.
I have a friend's computer. Previously the owner was having trouble closing programs so he gave the computer to a friend to fix. After getting the computer back from the friend it will no longer connect to the internet. Now I have it. I have tried to run Malwarebytes after installing from a CD (although I am not able to update it). During the scan it did find one infection and then it stopped when it hit AppData Roaming uTorrent dht.dat.old Now I can't do anything with Malwarebytes.
It is sitting on the desktop doing nothing. I can't close it either. The computer uses windows Vista. When I turned the computer on it took almost 5 minutes to load. There were boxes on the desktop with From uTorrent: WSAStartup failed, or you have the incorrect version of Winsock Installed. From Network Magic: Network Magic Cannot start properly. Please restart your computer then try starting Network Magic again.
Can someone help me with this? Remember I do not have internet on that computer so I will have to transfer any software, etc. From my computer to that one. Thanks in advance. Edited by raven123, 08 September 2011 - 06:52 PM.

CLICK THIS LINK http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/logreply/418115. Should I do the DDS and GMER logs by transferring the programs from my computer to the infected one or can we try to get the infected one back online first? I have not tried to do anything more with the computer as it is terribly slow. It takes 5-10 minutes just to get Vista loaded.
I was hoping we could try to get it back online before running the programs but if I need to do it by transferring to a memory stick I can do that. Let me know what I should do.
