Blocked connections booting normal, fine in Safe Mode (No AV/Firewall)

charliearthur · 05 Jan 2013

Hello all,

A few of my programs are unable to communicate with their servers now and I can't figure out why as they were find two weeks ago and I haven't made any changes since then. The issue lies with a service/program within Windows as all the programs communicate fine in Safe Mode. Windows Firewall and ICS are both disabled within Services. Malwarebytes (my only AV right now) is disabled also.

I know this is an ongoing and repetitive subject but the numerous searches are all resulting in pointing fingers at an AV program, which I am sure is completely disabled. Any help is appreciated.

First of all download and perform a full scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to make sure it's not a virus, if this doesn't help open your task manager and post here all processes running.

Malwarebytes is already installed and runs full scans every two days but the heck of it I ran another full scan and all was clear.

Running processes are here - tasklist - Pastebin.com
