Nope.

Previously, I had my virus problem fixed in a threat "xxwx.dll", assisted by Ried. I also encountered this problem, except previously, I had DNS and Key Ports errors, but now I only had Key Ports error. He gave me a solution and it worked. Here it goes:

Hi cazua,

AVG A-S has only found cookies, BitDefender only cleaned items quarantined by our previous fixes. One minute IE is working and FF is not, then it switches...This really sounds as though it's an access issue and not malware. I'd like you to try something and we'll see if this resolves the issue...

Please copy these instructions to Notepad and save to your Desktop for reference as you will not have access to this page while carrying out these steps.

1. Disconnect from the internet completely. No internet access whatsoever.
2. Disable Comodo Firewall. Right click the icon in your taskbar and select 'Exit'.
3. Enable Windows Firewall. Click Start>Control Panel>Windows Firewall and click the circle next to 'On'.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Click Start>Run type cmd and click OK

Next, type in the following text:

ipconfig /flushdns

(**Note: that space between g and / is needed)

Press Enter
Type Exit.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Reconnect to the internet.

Is everything working now?

I was wondering if I could do this again and see if it helps?

Well, you can certainly try it, nothing bad will happen.

It didn't help. I've restarted my modem, router and rebooted my system and still, it didn't help!

Mystically, I can sign into MSN again. But when it was disconnected and I wanted to connect again, the error appeared. When I tried again, I could sign in. I am not sure if the cause is with my service provider as I had been suffering from slow and inconsistent connection.
