Some file sharing software uses this (explained better in the links) and when uninstalled stops the internet working "The page cannot be displayed" in internet explorer.
To fix: run a LSP-Fix, which fixes the Winsock 2 settings or a win xp fix which can be downloaded from http://tntmax.com/Download/Software/WinsockXPFix.exe.
!!!!!!!!!Always make a backup of the Registry before using this software!!!!!!!!!!!
