This doesnt sound good!
And the fact that even Hijack cant pull up a full log doesnt LOOK good either!
I await the Malwarebytes scan.......:idea:0 -
Broken Internet access because of LSP chain gap needs fixing
Go to VISTA Start->Search->Type CMD and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. The MSDOS Window will be displayed. At the command prompt, type the following and press Enter after each line:
netsh int ip reset C:\Resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset catalog
ipconfig /flushdns (The space between g and / is needed)
Exit
Restart the computer.
That should give you Internet AccessEx forum ambassador

Thanks Browntoa.
There's still no internet access though did go through what you suggested. When entering the lines it said something about requiring 'elevation' so dunno what thats all about.

this is virtually identical to most of the problem but we can't find the 'blocked files'. Any ideas?
Thanks!Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree!0 -
I await the Malwarebytes scan.......

You need to 'update' Malwarebytes

I clicked to update before transfering to the other PC - not 100% sure it's been updated tho?Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree!0 -
Sorry
I should have explained better
Put the newly downloaded definitions file .exe onto your sons computer and open THAT. It will auto update Malwarebytes
Look at your log as it is now ~
Database version: 1456
It SHOULD be 1544 ish
(So youll know it worked when that changes to 1544 ish)
Easiest way to check is run the exe file. Then open Malwarebytes. Goto UPDATE and the current database version is there
(ps ~ the latest database version on that link is 1539 at the moment, which is the best your going to do till they update it):idea:0 -
Thanks again, but part of the problem is that OH's pc won't connect to the internet so I can't update the malwarebytes.Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree!0
