Hi, in advance sorry for my errors in English it's not my first language.

in WinXP

I have complete connection But I can't use any of the browsers:
IE:can't display page
firefox:unable to connect

and other program also like yahoo messenger and antivirus update and....

I've tried many ways that was mentioned and I've called my internet connection supports and they told there must be a problem with my setting in laptop and again tried several ways with no result!!they told me that it must be s.th about using antifilter but all the way that must be related to proxy wasen't the answer.

I've tried these:

IE: Internet option>connection>lan setting>uncheck
IE:Internet option>general>delete browsing history

and also in fire fox proxy is uncheck too.

try this software that s.o suggest: " winsockfix"

and

start>run>cmd--------> I've tried several things like checking "ping" etc.

I'm so confusedddddd!!!!please HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELPPPP!!!!!!

thanks beforehand

Yes the laptop is infected !

We will do two things after which I would like you to tell me if the problem is resolved.

First step

Download, install and run Malwarebyte which you can find on this site:

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/ es-anti-malware

Ensure you make an update.

Please request a FULL system scan, which may take from 20 minutes to hours. Do not interfere no matter how long in takes. The creators of Malwarebyte recommend that while the tool is running that you go do something else, such as watching a rerun of Gone with the Wind or read Tolstoy's War and Peace.

If Malwarebyte restarts your system, launch it again to finish the Full scan.

When the scan is completed, delete all items found.

Second step

Download the following Adwcleaner created by Xplode

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/6911-adwcleaner/

Click on delete

Post the log C:\Adwcleaner[Sx].txt on this thread.

Good luck

P.S. I must now sign out, I will return on the forum in 9 hours. I will then read your message and reply to you.

Just one tiny question, maybe I am missing something here BUT, how can I download the software for the fix when the browser doesn't work in the first place??

If you start the laptop in safe mode with networking, will the browsers open ?

(To boot in safe mode, start the laptop while tapping F8)

I am also having the same problem with my Toshiba running Windows XP. I have tried everything under the sun that I have read on various posts with suggestions. Still says it is connected, excellent strength, but cannot browse. I tried IE and Chrome. Neither will open.
I recently switched my wifi from AT&T to TWC. My other two laptops connected fine, no problem, but are running Windows 7. I have done system restore, manually entering the IP address, etc.
uninstalling and reinstalling adapter, unplugging unit, various ipconfig suggestions such as flush dns, winsock, etc. I did get a message Invalid ARP cache entries. I tried not fix that, not sure if it worked. Tried winsock fix. It seems to insist on the security type open/WEP. If I try to change it to WPA/AES -- it does not stay. When I tried to disconnect and the reconnect to the wifi, it asked for my network security key, I entered the key (I know it was correct) it said network password needs to be 40bit or 104 bits, etc. I tried to manually enter the IP address, etc. as I saw that the IP address on this laptop when I did ipconfig/all said: 169.254.180.31, but my other laptops said: 192.168.0.1. I thought I had it. It connects, but NOPE will not open browser.
As you can see I have been all over the road and still no browser will open!!!

Hi

Are your browsers working now, Firefox and IE? I don't care about Google Chrome because it's always full of bugs.

Try to do this, go to Start>>>Control panel>>Network and Internet>>Internet options>>Change your home page and in that section highlight and delete the existing default setting mainly internet explore and type https://www.google.com/ >>click apply>>click ok.

Google will open immediately on a new window for you to use it. While there you can download Chrome, IE or any other browser of interest and install it as default.

Was facing similar issue as yours few minutes ago and upon doing this I am now able to browse .

I know that the Google chrome was installed in that laptop but it's not in control panel>add or remove and I've searched it's name and I found the files, like
"uninstall" but it's not working!!
sorry that I'm asking so much, but if I have to uninstall it tell me the other way!
goodnight

The laptop may be virus

To help you and prescribe the remedy, I must make a diagnostic and to do so, I require a log.

1. Open this link and download ZHPDiag2 :

https://www.zebulon.fr/telechargements/securite/systeme/zhpdiag.html

(Don't be alarmed is the site is in French, it sometimes happens, the tool will take your system language and allow the download if you get a warning message.)

2. Save the file on your Desktop.

3. Double click on ZHPDiag.exe and follow the installation instructions.

(For Vista and Win 7 users, click right to ensure you execute with admin right)

The tool creates three icons ZHPDiag, MRB, and ZHPFix (If necessary,we will use ZHPFix after log analysis).

4. Double click on the short cut ZHPDiag on your Destktop.

5. If you need to change the language, click on the little house, (bottom right) and change to English

6. Click on the "Configure" button.

7. Click on the Magnifying glass with the + sign.

8. Click on "Search"

Wait for the tool to finished (maybe a long time)

9. Close ZHPDiag.

10. To transmit the report, click on this link :

https://authentification.site

9. Search the directory where you installed ZHPDiag (usually C:\desktop\zhpdiag.txt).

10. Select the file ZHPDiag.txt.

11. Click on "upload »

12. Copy the URL and post it here.

Best regards
