WhoAmI provides quick verification of Internet Connectivity Diagnostics on your system: TCP/IP status, Gateway, DNS access, and more. WhoAmI is a 'no install' program, just download WhoAmI.exe and run to see your results - all you have to do is allow it access through your firewall.
Note: If under TCP/IP, you see an error, Windows XP users can run WinSockFix (WinSockFix is not compatible wth Windows Vista or Windows 7; run the Network Diagnosis instead, which is supposed to self-correct Winsock/network settings.)

The Winsockfix Utility will:
1.) Detect your current Operating System
2.) Release the IP address, taking you "Offline"
3.) Reset the TCP stack using Netsh.exe (Windows XP only)
4.) Delete the current Registry TCP and Winsock Values
5.) Import new "Working" Registry Values
6.) Backup any Current "Hosts" file
7.) Replace the "Hosts" file with a default one
8.) Reboot the Computer

WinSockFix can often cure the problem of lost connections after the removal of malware or improper uninstall of firewall applications that modify the XP network and Winsock settings.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is considered to be the next step in the detection and removal of malware. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is an anti-malware application that can thoroughly remove even the most advanced malware. It is designed to detect all known malware with just the "Quick Scan" feature. The real-time protection module is disabled in the freeware version.

Spybot  Spybot Search & Destroy v1.6 

Spybot Search & Destroy is another one of the best anti-spyware applications available. It detects many of the same types of malwares as Adaware does, and has some other nice features. Such as Tea Timer. This is a registry monitoring device, extremely helpful in these days of malwares dropping all sorts of nasties into the registry.


SpywareBlaster   SpywareBlaster v4.1

SpywareBlaster prevents known ActiveX installs by setting kill bits into the registry; many nasty malware get installed in this manner.
 From Javacool Software:
SpywareBlaster doesn't scan for and clean spyware – it prevents it from being installed in the first place. SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, dialers, browser hijackers, and other potentially unwanted programs. It can also block spyware/tracking cookies in IE, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, and many other browsers, and restrict the actions of spyware/ad/tracking sites. With the built-in Check for Updates feature, you can help ensure your protection is up-to-date. SpywareBlaster also includes a System Snapshot feature, which lets you take a snapshot of your computer in its clean state and later revert, undoing many changes made by spyware and browser hijackers. Version 4.1 adds full Mozilla Firefox 3 support, and various feature and protection enhancements, tweaks, and optimizations.
