Cannot access internet or run scans


Recommended Posts

I have a Windows 8 64 system and am unable to access the internet using IE, Chrome, or FF.  I have tried running Malwarebytes but it crashes when it tries to update.  I have also tried Glary utilities that also crashes.  Any ideas?


 


I have also tried running chkdisk and that comes up clean, ran tests that came with the Dell machine that ran tests on all hardware and that came up clean as well.  Tried a system restore and it ran but then restarted and said it could not restore.  Now when I go back the restore point is gone.  I have also pulled the drive out and installed it as a slave in another computer and ran malwarebytes which pulled some non malware off of the drive.

Hello,
    
 
They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you.
 
     
    
Before we start please read and note the following:

  • Limit your internet access to posting here, some infections just wait to steal typed-in passwords.
  • Please be patient. I know it is frustrating when your PC isn't working properly, but malware removal takes time.
  • Don't run any scripts or tools on your own, unsupervised usage may cause more harm than good.
  • Do not paste the logs in your posts, attachments make my work easier. There is a Upload Files option below which you can use to attach your reports. Always attach reports from all tools.
  • Stay with me to the end, the absence of symptoms doesn't mean that your machine is fully operational.
  • Note that we may live in totally different time zones, what may cause some delays between answers.
  • Do not ask for help for your business PC. Companies are making revenue via computers, so it is good thing to pay someone to repair it.
  • If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.

:excl: I can't foresee everything, so if anything unexpected happens, please stop and inform me!
:excl: There are no silly questions. Never be afraid to ask if in doubt!
