Hello,

My win 10 machine is not allowing any browsers to load webpages. I've tried every IPConfig command I can think of, I tried removing the network adapter and reinstalling it, I've tried deleting files in the windows temp folder, and even tried using CCleaner.

I desperately need this computer to study with and the last thing I remember doing is d/l freemake(what Trojan a piece of garbage that is) everyone said "oh it's fabulous" then when I try to install it my security software warns me it's malware and I try to uninstall it and suddenly nothing works anymore and i can't load any pages in any browser.

Please help.

did you check to see if a proxy server was added to Internet Explorer?

This is a common problem. You then need to search the Registry for that ID/name to find and remove any hacks into Firefox.

Good Luck

I can't even open IE, I try to open the main exe even under administrator and it does nothing, like clicking a fake icon.

I can open firefox, but every tab I open just says new tab. Do you or anyone else here know of any USB based malware software I can load onto a stick and run on my computer to clean it?
