Ran Malwarebytes, Now No Internet


Recommended Posts

I ran the program and it seemed to sucessfully remove some problems. However, I can no longer access the internet either from IE or Firefox. I have tried to follow fixes suggested to others in this and other forums, but they seemingly get specific to those users. So far I have used winsockxpfix with no luck.

Below is the log from the scan that I ran. I am comfortable around computers and am happy to take any suggestions, but if anybody can help me without too much geek speak, that would be especially appreciated.

Hi -

This can be the case depending on the actual problems and the computer - Not all systems and problems are usually 100% the same -

You have a very badly infected system and it may take several other tools to fully fix it - If it can be fixed -

Your XP SP3 has been hit very hard by the infections and you may have lost internet connection due to this -

  • Open Control Panel > Internet Options
  • Click on the Connections tab
  • Click on the LAN settings button
  • Under Automatic configuration make sure that the box next to Automatically detect settings is checked, if it is not, then click the box next to it to check it
  • Click on the OK button to close the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings window
  • Click on the OK button to close the Internet Options window
  • Use this diagram as a guide
  • Try this first and then post back -

Thank You -

Hi -

It was worth a try as a first option (sometimes works) - Good: (Explorer.exe)Bad: (explorer.exe, this infected item may have cancelled your connection -

The steps in the link did not work. The Defogger worked, but then DDS kept freezing up and GMER was "encountering errors" that forced close outs and an automatic restart of the computer.

Randy, the proxy served box was not checked.

Any other ideas?

Unforntuately, now that I'm dealing with this, I'm pretty sure that I have had this problem using Malwarebytes before a little while back. Too bad I can't remember how I fixed it. Even worse, I didn't remember until it was too late, otherwise I would have used a different program.

Hi -

With the 15 infected items listed in the scan above , they can do a lot of damage to any system -

This is why my item at Post #4 is your best option - Skip any items that can not be done and post a new topic as listed -

By now one of the experts may have looked at your problem and helped you better than we can on the General forum -

Here we only post "general quick fixes" without fully diagnosing any specific related problems -

The problem is not with Malwarebytes , but with all the infections you had - One or two can cause a minor problem but you have 15 major problems all at the same time - If there are still items showing in any Antivirus or Malware scan , you may be still badly infected -

Thank You -

EDIT -

There have been about 30 updates since your scan and you may still have items in there to be removed -
