Fo the last few weeks I've been having on and off problems with my internet. The connection and router is fine as other people in my house are using it no problem. Something was not letting my browser connect to certain security sites (avg, avast, microsoft, etc) and therefore blocking my AVG updates whereas most others including google and facebook would work. I downloaded various security tools (hijackthis, malwarebytes etc) and fixed what I thought were the problems. HijackThis showed a BHO value called WormRadar - IE filter which I got rid of. This seemed to work, however, after a couple of restarts a windows dialog box popped up saying a registry value has been restored and the problem was back (as was the wormradar value in hickjack this). I repeated this process a couple of times and it seemed to go away and everything was working for a couple of weeks. The other day, however, the dialog box reappeared saying the registry value was restored but this time no site would work and hijackthis wasn't showing that wormradar value anymore. I've run all the security programs I have and nothing picks up on any malware or viruses.
When I ping certain sites, it mostly times out but occasionally gets a reply. Netstat shows connections when firefox is open as 'established.' I have a version of unbuntu on a partition of the hard drive and the same thing happens there - it appears to connect but does not get onto any internet site. I haven't used unbuntu for ages so it's possible that it could be misconfigured since we have changed our ISP since I last used it. Is it possible that malware can affect different operating systems on the same drive?
I would be inclined to think that it was a hardware or configuration issue if it wasn't for the fact that I know I have been infected to some degree (I removed the conficker worm with malware bytes and had a couple of trojans also) and it seems to be related to this registry value being restored.
My hijackthis log is below and attached are screen shots of netstat and some pings
Hope someone can help because I'm out of ideas!
