    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.......

    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 Access

    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.

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071126111421AAip1mt

    this is virtually identical to most of the problem but we can't find the 'blocked files'. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    You need to 'update' Malwarebytes
    Its a VERY old Database veraion (meaning it cant find the nasties, as it doesnt know of them)

    (Again, onto yours then onto his)

    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)

    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.
