When I go to Start -> Run -> MSInfo32, and then go to Components -> Network -> Protocol, Microsoft says that I should see TEN entries. If not, something has corrupted my Winsock files. There are instructions at Microsoft.com on how to restore the Winsock file. When I follow the instructions, I still end up with 20 entries, and four of those entries start with i386p (such as i386pMSAFD or i386pRSVP).
In doing a search on i386p in the registry, I see that it is associated with Search Assistant. In doing a search at Google, I find several references to "bad stuff" associated with i386p.
I notice that others at this forum give you a copy of the log from "HijackThis". If that is helpful, I will do the same below. I started investigating this because I have a problem from time-to-time with wireless connectivity and I'm taking just about any advice I can get! I purchased a really neat laptop with a Centrino processor and all the good stuff, and I can't connect at about half of the WiFi hotspots I go to. I realize this problem may not be related, but I might as well fix it while I'm looking at other things. Thanks.
