Internet connection taken out by virus
Sorry if this is a repeat, but I couldn't find similar when I searched.

I had a virus a few days ago that took down my ability to connect to the net.
The malware has been cleaned out, but I still can't connect to the internet. Neither email program nor any browser works.
Five programs confirmed the system is clean, including avg antivirus and superantispyware (both refreshed within a day of checking).

Things to note:
- it does not work in safe mode
- the other computer on the network is working fine and is able to connect.
- I am able to ping sites from this machine (google, yahoo, etc), so from these two points the problem must be within my machine and not the actual connection.

Setup is:
XP Pro sp3, 4 gig ram, 700+gb hard drive space (about 3/4 full)
at&t u-verse, but as I said its not the problem (four hours spent on the phone to them to have them tell me 'its not a network problem. call our fee-based service.' color me underwhelmed.)

Thanks for the help!

Please click here to download and install the HijackThis installer.

Run it and select Do a system scan and save a logfile.

The log will be saved in Notepad. Copy and paste the log in your next post.

Do not fix anything

Download HijackThis from a working computer. Copy the installer to a USB flash drive. Plug it into your faulty computer, install and run the program.

Thank you for your help. Log file below. Only thing I've done since is play civ 4.
It had two errors that it wanted to start a browser and send in, but it didn't show details of what they were.

Download and run LSP-Fix.

Also, your computer is still infected. Please click on the Report button and kindly ask to be moved to the Malware Removal forum.

Thanks very much.
I hope this fixes it.
Bummer about still being infected, altho I don't see where. I'll head this over to the other forum.
Thanks!

You're welcome!

The LSP-Fix should give you back your Internet connection. It'll be useful for the rest of the cleaning process.

It did indeed. Typing now from that machine.
It's a simpler life without a net connection, and that was nice for a few days, but I'm glad it's back.
Now to get un-infected!
