Hello again !
After my deperate post yesterday, I now had had some success:
I removed all spyware using lavasofts ad-aware (get it at
www.lavasoftUSA.com) -- i'm not sure wether this had any impact, but it's nice to be rid of those nasty parasites anyway.
Hint: It took ad-aware 2 passes (and a reboot) as admin and another pass as "me" to completely get rid of all spys.
It NOW WORKS, but only if i LOG IN AS ADMIN ! -- if i start it from my normal user-account, it still wount connect, even if i use "execute as" (similar to sudo/sus on unix/linux) to give it admin-rights !!! (i did not try admin-rights before removing the spy-ware).
Oh, right: it works (as admin) despite of BlackICE AND ZoneAlarm running !
Are there any env-variables/setup-files/etc involved, that could be different for different users ?!
I STILL wan't to work/download as ordenary user, esp. BECAUSE of spyware/viruses/trojans/etc.
Anyone PLEASE HELP !
TIA
daniel
