Hello,
I am running Windows XP on a laptop, and I recently ran into some spyware/adware called MicroAV that installed itself onto my comp. and flooded me with false security messages. To get rid of it, I downloaded windows live onecare and ran a scan. It found some viruses and deleted them, and for a few hours everything was fine. Then, internet explorer couldn't connect to the internet. Firefox still worked though, so I ignored it and used Firefox. After waking up the next morning, however, I couldn't connect at all. I am connected to my wireless network and I can log into my router to change settings but the internet wont work. I tried three browsers and Itunes music store and none will work, however Limewire will connect. I can't ping any sites or do anything other than Frostwire though. Its not a problem with my router as my Ubuntu OS on the same comp works fine on the same network.
PS: I also uninstalled OneCare so its not the firewall or antivirus.
