Browser won't connect to the internet


Recommended Posts

I'm having trouble with a virus that prevents Firefox or any browser from connecting to the internet even though the computer is connected.

I've re-installed the whole os last week and thought I was OK until today the problem reappeared.

I run Superanti spyware and find adware tracking cookies.

What to do?
