Not only am I getting the timeout socket error for updates, but I also can not access the Spybot web site. I has just started to be a problem in the past week or so, It works fine on my wife's PC (which I am now using).
It has worked fine on my PC for several years. I am using Windows XP, and IE 6.0. I do not have afirewall (that I know of). Some setting must have somehow changed on my PC. Can anyone help me track it down, or offer any suggestions? Thanks for the help.
