See if you can download aswMBR. If you can, download it and save it to your desktop.

http://public.avast.com/~gmerek/aswMBR.exe

When you've downloaded it...

• Double click aswMBR.exe to run it (XP), or right click & choose "Run as Administrator" (Vista, Win7)
• Click No to the prompt to download Avast! virus definitions.
• Click the Scan button.
• When the scan reports "Scan finished successfully", click Save log & save the log to your desktop.
• Click OK when prompted. aswMBR.txt & MBR.dat will be appear on your desktop.
• Click EXIT.
• Copy & paste the contents of aswMBR.txt here.

Should it report something, don't try to fix anything with it yet, just post the log.

Reboot, tap f8 at startup and when you reach the Windows Advanced Boot Options, go into Safe Mode with Networking. From there check that a proxy server hasn't been set.

Open Internet Explorer go to: Tools > Internet Options > Connections Tab > LAN settings > Uncheck "use a proxy server" > click OK > Apply > OK, then close and restart Internet Explorer.

Then try to download aswMBR.
