We have some other issues there, but regarding your internet connection it's being blocked by something:

Click the "Scan" button to start scan.
On completion of the scan click "Save log", save it to your desktop and post in your next reply.

NOTE. aswMBR will create MBR.dat file on your desktop. This is a copy of your MBR. Do NOT delete it.

=============================================================

Download Bootkit Remover to your Desktop.

• Unzip downloaded file to your Desktop.
• Double-click on boot_cleaner.exe to run the program (Vista/7 users,right click on boot_cleaner.exe and click Run As Administrator).

• Post the output back here.

 

[nautilus808]

I downloaded aswMBR to the desktop of a working computer and update the definitions but when i transfer the file to the infected computer, does it bring the updated definitions? It does not run on the infected computer. I tried running as admin and normal as well..
