Hi, recently I had some malware on my Windows XP Professional (version 2002), so I followed a guide at Bleeping Computer (
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/viru...-security-2011) to get rid of it. Problem is, for some reason, after I finished, I could no longer access the internet!
When I try, FIrefox gives me their "could not connect" message:
"Server not found. Firefox can't find the server at [site]." Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com..."
When I try to log into MSN, the troubleshoot says I have a problem with my DNS and Key Ports.
I'm not good with computers so I Google'd and found some ping-ing instructions. When I tried to ping [site], I get:
"Ping request could not find host [site]. Please check the name and try again."
This happens regardless of the site I use.
Lastly, I tried "ping 127.0.0.1" from a troubleshooting site. It gives me:
"Pinging 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Ping statistics for 127.0.0.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss).
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms"
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
