Smart Engine removal problem

My husbands laptop was infected with the Smart Engine malware - Windows7, and we've attempted to fix it via the removal instructions at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-remo...ve-smart-engine. It seemed to go well enough with no hitches - however when we try to connect to the internet we can't. Hubby has checked all connections wifi etc and still can't get connected. Has something during the removal changed his connection - really don't know how to go about fixing this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings Nuttywife and Welcome to the Forums,

Please do this:
Click Start-->Control Panel...Select View network status and tasks under the "Network and Internet" header.

Tell me what you see listed under the View your active networks section. Thanks!

I have established that it is connected to the internet but that nothing will display just that Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage! So I clicked diagnose connection problems.
Says: Problem found - The remote device or resource won't accept the connection. Detected.

Does this help?
Thanks

What web page are you using as the IE home page? Have you tried any different page?

Hi I've tried a system restore and it seems to has resolved the problem - do you think it will be ok to use normally now or do you recommend a full system scan with Malwarebytes first.

Actually, what I recommend is the same that you'll read here...when I see those logs, I'll post back more instructions for you. Thanks!

Do you still require assistance Nuttywife?
