I used my internet at home yesterday and then decided to use NOD32 an antivirus package to clear all my trojans.
Anyway I turned my computer on last night hoping to use the internet howver it comes with page cannot be displayed.
I did contact NTL to see if they could help but they couldnt. Obvioulsy my antivirus package has done something. I uninstalled it to see if that would help. I tried a system restore but it doesnt restore at any of my points. Did Ping www.google.com and it seems to show an ip address.
I have a NTL Modem where all the light seem to be working apart from sending and receiving , but howver it is connecting and the ip address is okay.
Can someone please help me. Using work computer at the moment. Also i did try going through safe mode network connections and that didnt work either.
