No Internet, can't download the TXT files


Recommended Posts

I recently purchased the lifetime premium license of the Antimalware software for my Windows 7 Desktop (64 Bit Professional). After removing more than 1,000 detected threats, I suddenly find myself unable to access any Internet, despite my computer being fully connect to my home wifi. The Internet is working for all my other devices (including the iPhone that I'm writing this topic from.)

I've looked at numerous solutions from previous forum posts, most of which suggest I download various removal applications or txt files, but because I have no internet access on my PC, I can't download them! I've also tried uninstalling Malwarebytes, but still no Internet. I even tried calling Guru Aid since Malwarebytes has no customer service hotline. No success.

Could someone please help me? 8c I can't be the only one who's had this issue, right?

Hello,

    

 

They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll try to help your with your issue.

 

     

    

Before we start please read and note the following:

  • We're primarily oriented on malware removal here, so you must know that some issues just cannot be solved and you must be prepared for this. Some tools we use here will remove your browser search history, so backup your important links and all the files whose loss is unacceptable.
  • 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. Keep in mind that private life gets in the way too. Note that we may live in totally different time zones, what may cause some delays between answers.
  • 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 More reply options button, that gives you Upload Files option below which you can use to attach your reports. Always attach reports from all tools.
  • Always execute my instructions in given order. If for some reason you cannot completely follow one instruction, inform me about that.
  • 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 not covered in my instructions happens, please stop and inform me!

:excl: There are no silly questions. Never be afraid to ask if in doubt!

 

 

 

  warning.gif Rules and policies

 

We won't support any piracy.

That being told, if any evidence of illegal OS, software, cracks/keygens or any other will be revealed, any further assistance will be suspended. If you are aware that there is this kind of stuff on your machine, remove it before proceeding!

The same applies to any use of P2P software: uTorrent, BitTorrent, Vuze, Kazaa, Ares... We don't provide any help for P2P, except for their removal. All P2P software has to be uninstalled or at least fully disabled before proceeding!

 

Failure to follow these guidelines will result with closing your topic and withdrawning any assistance.

 

 


Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.

Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Again, how am I supposed to download this tool onto my PC if I have absolutely no Internet on it? I have a MacBook Pro; maybe I could download it from there and attach it onto an email message?

Also, this is not a business PC. It's my own personal computer.

Back!

 

I'm sorry to say that after numerous trials with your recovery tools, and several days with Micro Center Tech Support, I've officially given up on trying to restore my internet. I've now resorted to having Micro Center wipe my server altogether, and replace it with a cleaner version of Windows 7 .

 

I appreciate all the efforts you've made to try to help me, but your anti-malware software has given me much more grief than it's worth. I highly anticipate a prompt refund from Nu Era Software within the coming week. I will never recommend this brand to anyone else suffering from viruses or malware.
