Problem solved. The issue stems from an incomplete uninstall from cisco's

VPN client version 4.0.x.x. There is a system file in windows\system32

apparently from zone alarm ?? (vsdatant.sys). Presumably, this is a built in

firewall with the product. Deleting this file and/or disabling the entry in

the registry solves this issue. Cisco has taken off this link from its

website. The latest client version is 5.0.0.x

IE on my desktop running Windows XP cannot access HTTP sites anymore, but it

can still access HTTPS sites. I have rebooted the computer many times,

turned off firewall to no avail.



Any tip will be greatly appreciated.

My problem is the opposite of the problem addressed in those links. The

access non-secure or regular web sites (http).

by doing this:

Click Start >> Control Panel >> Double click Network and Internet

Or go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet

owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see

Now Ad-Aware is doing a full scan of the system. After it finishes the scan

and fixes, I will reboot the box and try the above steps again.

If tweaking your third-party firewall's settings don't help, try the

following:



1. Disable your anti-virus application, any real-time protection provided by

an anti-spyware application (except for Windows Defender includes Spybot

Tea Timer, SpySweeper Guards, AVG AS guard.exe, etc.), disable any

third-party firewall AND enable the Windows Firewall.



NB: If you're running ZA Free firewall, you may need to uninstall it instead

of disabling it. You're "working without a net" now: Don't to ANYTHING else

online (e.g., browsing reading email chatting) except #4 below until your

anti-virus application has been re-enabled!



2. Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB939653)"

via Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked at top right)

and reboot.



3. Re-do #1 above.



4. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any Critical Updates

offered. If "Root Certificates" update is listed in the Optional Updates

category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of IE7's

additional security.



5. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1 above is enabled again and, if

applicable, disable the Windows Firewall and enable your third-party

firewall.

I've been experiencing the same problem as Hong for the past week or so, I DO

NOT want to re-os, I've followed all of the steps as pointed out by nass and

PA Bear.



1. Installing firefox did nothing

1a. I removed IE 7 to IE6 - same result



2. The only thing that does not seem to work with the DLLs is : regsvr32

w3ssl.dll - It says "w3ssl.dll" was loaded but the dllregisterserver entry

point was not found. The file cannot be registered"



3. sfc /scanow does not work - it asks for an XP professional CD although I

have XP Media Center addition installed. Unfortunately I don't have service

pack 2 for XP professional just and .exe file someone gave me on a burnt CD -

so that doesnt help



4. I uninstalled Norton AV in the hopes it would do the trick, but no all

banking related secure sites are the only ones that are available, gmail is

secure when you sign in after which it waits endlessly to reach the inbox

because of HTTP.



5. I downloaded the windows scripting help - not sure what that does??

(script56.chm)



6. Windows update is only accessible via HTTP !!! - arghhh !



The suspect I think is a cisco VPN client I downloaded off the net

v4.0.something.... it is extremely frustrating. I am starting to lose

patience - Any help would be much appreciated !!
