Browser problems - cannot access microsoft.com etc!
 
Hey guys, I was referred here by a few friends who have had problems in the past and needed help with solutions

Anyway, this is quite a frustrating problem of sorts. I can't access sites such as Microsoft.com. This is through both Mozilla and IE. I have mucked around with re-registering DLL files and what no to avail. Even in your sticky thread, I couldn't download the "AVG Anti-Spyware" because the site wouldn't load either. Haha quite a pain in the ass isn't it :icon_smile:

Cheers for any help at all with this at all :)
Here is the HiJack log

p.s. just by any chance, I just installed a webcam, but no image shows up, could this just be a driver issue?

Re: Browser problems - cannot access microsoft.com etc!
 
Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums :).

==========

Can you please do the following.

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

Please go here & install ALL critical updates required for your system, including service pack 1a for both XP and IE6.
Most malware is designed to attack unpatched XP systems - exploiting the available 'holes' - and can bypass third-party protection on an unpatched system. The most that can be done with an unpatched system is put a temporary bandage on it. Your system can potentially be reinfected within minutes of cleaning it.

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

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

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

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

folders...

C:\WINDOWS\System32\SearchEnhancer

files...

C:\WINDOWS\System32\nsgA3.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\myss_sb.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\nsjA8.dll

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.
Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

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

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

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

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

Re: Browser problems - cannot access microsoft.com etc!
 
Damn, computer works a lot smoother now, especially general browsing, but it still won't access microsoft.com and sites such as that. One thing it does come up with when trying to load it though is

"DNS Error - Server cannot be found"

I'm presuming DNS is something to do with my router? I don't think I can access my router because I have done so before and my ISP provider has put a password and login to access the settings. Therefore I might have to give them a cal;.

Any other suggestions? Here is the updated HiJack log file

Re: Browser problems - cannot access microsoft.com etc!
 
Try the following in the order given, trying to connect after each; (you may need to reboot)

Download the HostsXpert.
Run it and press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program.
Note that if you have a custom host file, this will remove it. You can edit the host file with this program too.

Download and run Winsockfix from here http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/N...nSockFix.shtml

==

Download Dial-a-Fix and run it. Select the 'Check all' (green arrow) and then hit 'GO.'
Reboot when done and see how things are now.
