Alecooly, Welcome to Sevenforums. Hopefully I can be of assistance.

If you use Internet Explorer, try this method: Internet Explorer - Reset

If that doesn't work, try this:
In an elevated command prompt (in start menu search, type cmd, right-click it and select run as administrator), Type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes. Restart your computer. If that doesn't work either, follow the same method but instead type "netsh int ipv4 reset" without quotes. Let me know how this works. Does your updated regular antivirus and updated malwarebytes pick up any other viruses?

You might try a system restore to a point that was before the viruses were present.

DustySailor, A big thank you for your post! I was able to fix my network proxy settings by using your first suggestion of "netsh winsock reset". I am not sure why the settings changed and why I was not able to get internet connection... but since I have 3 computers running on the network 2 using Vista and one using Windows 7. I am certain Windows 7 has an issue of some kind; oddly I only use my windows 7 machine for video editing and very little internet browsing. Thanks again!!

Alecooly, I hope you've managed to find some solution to your problem. Please let us know, as I may have other solutions for you to try.

I am having the same problem and I've already tried all of the above options but it did not
work. Somehow I could not complete the system restore method. Can anybody please give me some other options to fix the problem.

Lets try flushing DNS cache and renewing your IP.

Flush the DNS cache and restore MS's Hosts file ...
Copy and paste these lines in Note pad.

@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0

Save as flush.bat to your desktop. Right click on the flush.bat file to run it as Administrator.

Your computer will reboot itself.

chev65, I've tried it but it's still not working. thanks for your help anyway.

Hei, welcome to Sevenforums!

I've managed to check the DHCP Client. Startup type is automatic but the service status is stopped and I couldn't start it due to error 1075: the dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion

Have you deleted any services/changed any settings in the 'services' section?
