Internet Explorer 9 cannot connect to internet, Cant find problem
Hi,
I'm having a problem with Internet Explorer where it cant connect to any webpage at all.
I have tried to troubleshoot the problem but the troubleshooter says that it cannot find the problem. It works when i start it up in no addons mode but even if i disable all the addons that i could find in manage addons it still doesn't work unless i use no addon mode.
No other computer has this problem other than me so it's not a problem with the router, but i can also use other browsers just fine with no problems.
I tried multiple attempts at solution trying to fix this such as:
ipconfig release,renew and flushdns
the two netsh command that, i think, flush the ipv4 and some other connection
disabling all addons in Internet explorer
reseting all internet explorer settings
checking if Proxy settings are accidentally enabled
Using antivirus + antimalware + antispyware to check for viruses(though i do think it is a virus)
Uninstalling and reinstalling Internet Explorer
System restore is out of the question because it doesnt have a restore point before this occured
-------------
If it helps, i had a "strain" of a computer virus named 800000cb.@ + "Mutations" of that virus in the same folder and it seemed to have happened a couple days after i had gotten rid of it using help from my anti-virus's support team, i'm in the 7th step of fully removing it. I also did SFC /Scannow in cmd so i can post it if i need to.
It's somewhat important for Internet explorer to work because a few games that i have rely on Internet explorer to work in order to connect to the update server properly(all the games that have this problem are MMOs) such as Tribes ascend, SWGEmu + its launcher, and Black Prophecy Tactics.
It seems to be a problem where Internet explorer cannot use the DNS server properly whether its the normal one or the google one, it does not work unless i use no addons mode so it might be a "hidden" addon that preventing it from connecting.
