Get to Google and other pages? This is on my main rig posted on the side
<----------
It all started when I did a routine mal/spyware and Virus check, and i removed a few nasties that were not there the day before.
I all of a sudden could not access some programs, they would load, then go no further.
I cannot open the Google page, with IE, Chrome or Firefox.
I have reformatted three times, XP the first and second time, now running Windows 7...still no difference.
Ran Avast!, Malwarebytes, Ad-Aware, and Spybot again...nothing detected.
I am currently burning an Ubuntu ISO to see if it is just windows being screwy.
Of course you will note on the side I have got two other drives in there, they are in tact.
I have looked for an autorun.ini on all partitions but there is nothing there at all.
The last point of mention:
I am away from home, there is a wireless network here, with my friends laptop connected to the wireless. I am connected to him with CAT5e at 1Gbps, and the wired and wireless connections are bridged. This was working fine for the first 1.5 days.
