MY COMPUTER
- Gateway
- Vista 32-bit
- Internet Explorer 8
Internet Connection
- Verizon MiFi 2200
Ok about 2 or 3 months ago I was downloading a file from the internet to my computer and sirens and messages started popping up like crazy saying a virus was detected, so I closed the download, all the web pages and the Anti-Virus programs and re-started my computer. When my computer came back up I connected to my internet connection, it said it successfully connected and a world popped up on the icon with the two computers in the system tray at the bottom right of my computer but when I launched my Internet Explorer it said "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" so I went to the address bar and typed in multiple web addresses, myspace.com, yahoo.com, facebook.com, ebay.com and I recieved the same message. Also when I open iTunes it says "Cannot connect to the iTunes store. I was told this is a virus so I need help with this, Below is everything I have tried......
- Avast (Trial Version, No Viruses Found)
- Malwarebytes' (Trial Version, Found only Trojen.FakeAlert, I removed it but it did not fix the problem)
- Reinstalled Internet Explorer 8
- Reset winsock by typing netsh winsock reset in Command Prompt
- I am in the process of running the software the computerhope.com suggests and getting the logs uploaded
Important Information: Everyone else uses this Internet Connection Fine, My computer is the only one that has issues.
Also I can play StarCraft and Diablo II online through battle.net I just can't use my browser or iTunes
