Lost Internet Connection Thru the IE8 Browser

[Thorval344]

I am new to this forum. My son's desktop which is a Dell that has windows xp Pro SP3 installed on it. He was hit with the AV security virus. I ran the Malwarebytes and then I lost connection to the internet through the browser. I have a wireless network. The wireless card is a Zonet ZEW1642 with RAlink software. It was working before I was hit with the virus. I double checked and the wireless card is connected to my router and shows a connection to the internet. I use IE8 browers. Everytime I click on the browser it cannot get to the internet. I can ping to the router.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings

If the proxy server box is ticked, un-tick it and try to connect to the internet again.

If this does not work, or if you suspect that there is still malware present on the computer, please try to follow the instructions here as best you can:
