Used Mbytes to remove livesearch redirect, resulting in loss of almost alltraffic

[DaveTTurner]

I used malwarebytes to attempt to scan and remove an issue that was redirecting all traffic through livesearch.com. Upon completion and restart, computer no longer registers the internet connection. The computer is getting correct IP, gateway, and DNS information, and can ping by IP, but cannot ping by NS, nor does any browser (IE and Chrome) load pages either by IP or NS.

This is the current Hijackthis log.

Thanks,

Dave
