After running Anti-Malware... my PC cannot connect to the outside world

[frafel]

Suspecting my PC was infected by Ad-ware etc I run the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware package downloaded from internet.

 

I must say... I was impressed by the speed of the operation and its findings (over 1000 "things" were reported)

 

After rebouting my desktop (WIN 8.1) speed seems to be improved but unfortunately I a situation summarized below.

 

 

1) Cannot connect any longer to any Internet site either with Firefox (default) or Internet Explorer . (neither via WiFi nor ethernet cable)

 

2) Cannot send nor receive OutLook E-Mails

 

3) Skype is constantly searching for connectivity

 

But....

 

A) Network and WiFi Diagnostics tun by Windows  result without any problems.

 

B) I can access network drives ( in my LAN ) with my "sick" PC

 

C) I can access my (sick) PC from a different  PC connected to my LAN.

 

 

Bottom line... my desktop has been dead (almost) for 24 hrs and a request I sent to the support team is still un-answered.

 

I will certainly apreciate any help you can give me.
