Hi,
can you do a ping or tracert to any adresses ?

open a DOS-window and enter:
ping 66.98.166.72
or
tracert 66.98.166.72
(the adress of this forum)

also search for your host(s) and lmhost(s) files and check the contents, maybe a trojan/hijacker messed it up / changed all inet calls to 127.0.0.1 / localhost or similar ?

are there any warnings in device manager or the event-log ?

have you run a complete scan with avast and best also with ad-aware, spybot, cwshredder (download them on a different PC and instal them on the inet-less one)

Links and details via the board search

try to open avast’s report/logfiles and tell us the exact names of the found trojans, and where they where found: full path/folder/filename(s)

:wink:
