BleepingComputer.com: Ran Super Anti Spyware and now Internet won't connect

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I ran Super Anti Spyware becuase I had an internet explorer redirect virus and then after it ran and I rebooted neither IE or Firefox will show any pages. I can go to the command prompt (Running Win XP Media Center) and ping google, yahoo, or anything and it gets a response, but when I open up the browsers they show no connection.

So what did I screw up?

Thanks.

Did Superantispyware detected something?

Yes, it detected a lot of stuff, then removed it. I will have to check to see if there is a log file when I get home. Since my internet is whacked I can't post it until tomorrow morning.

Since you can ping, it looks like DNS got messed up.
You can try steps listed below, but eventually you need to post in "Am I infected?" forum, because your computer may still be infected.

Turn off computer. Disconnect router, and modem from power source for 30 seconds.
Power them back on.
Restart computer.

If that doesn't work, bypass router, and connect computer straight to the modem.

If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Restart computer.

If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

At Command Prompt, type in:
netsh int ip reset reset.log
Hit Enter.
Type in:
netsh winsock reset catalog
Hit Enter.

Restart computer.


If that doesn't work...
Download, install, and run WinSockFix: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Network...inSockFix.shtml (doesn't work in Vista)
Restart computer, and check again.

If that doesn't work...
Download Dial-A-Fix (DAF) (doesn't work in Vista):
http://wiki.lunarsoft.net/wiki/Dial-a-fix#...2C_and_articles

Have XP CD available in case DAF needs a file. Likely not!

Check all boxes on the screen (clear any restrictions if it shows any)
Then click GO!

When the entire page is finished click the HammerHead at bottom to go to the second DAF page.

Here, one at a time, do the below:

Reinstall BITS
Reinstall Windows Firewall
Repair Permissions
Reset networking

Watch for any File not found or other errors and make note as this may lead to the fix!

Restart computer.

Thanks. I will give those a shot tonight.

Update,
I tried all those things, and nothing worked. I can still ping, but no results through a browser. I also tried re-installing the browsers.

Try to reinstall network card driver.

Re-installing the driver didn't work. Thanks though. I'm starting to think it's hopeless...

Hello,

Please follow my instructions here if you would like me to continue assisting you.

Kind regards,

Ahhh....I hate when people do this, starting a new topic, when they're not done with some other...
