Serious Internet Probs

I dont know what the hell has gone wrong here with my laptop but since yesterday I cannot get some certain pages when I go t them. What happnes is when I go to the appropriate website the page opens up, and just stays blank/white while the firefox tab on top says loadiing and waiting for a receving signal from the other side.

Also what happens sometime is that another tab would automatically pop up and some spam page will load up.

The same goes with IE7, if I try to open up IE7 and go to the home page, it will say connecting at the top top while the bottom will say website found waiting for reply, but I'll wait and wait and wait and no hme page will be found, it will just keep tryiing anf trying.

Sorry forgot to add here are the sites for eg I can't aaccess:

www.whirlpool.net.au

www.google.com

I can open Google but cannot search in it.

 

You could try clearing the dns cache.

Open cmd and type " ipconfig /flushdns " no quotes - enter.

If still no go it could relate to malware and I would try a scan with SuperAntispyware.

 

I tried the dns cache and I got a msg saying "the requested operation requires elevatin"

 

Seems like your browser is hijacked.
Try to run some scanners, to clean it up.

OR

Create a HijackThis Log and post it in one of the Malware Forums, mentioned in this link.

I've ran spybot no luck, ran windows defender on a quick scan and still no luck.
Whats web address to Super Anti Spyware and some other ones?

 

If Vista right click cmd and run as administrator and try to clear the dns.

Sorry no luck with the hijack this log as Wilders no longer supports it.

 

That's true, that's why I gave you a link with other forums at the bottom.

 

Sorry bit lost there, cmd is command promt i.e like a DOS based command so how can I right click CMD >

Also I'm logged in as an Admin already.

 

With Vista you still might need to right click and run command prompt as admin in order for some commands to work regardless if your logged in as admin.

Go to cmd (command prompt) through the start menu and right click - run as admin.

 

Sorry but I cant seem to find a CMD in the Start Menu, the only way for me to access CMD is to press the windows key folowed by R key and than the cmd box will pop up.

I'm using Vista Ultimate

PS: Forgot to mention so far I'm scanning using Super Antispyware and its found 11 threats, these all being a Vundo Variant.

 

Ok some good news here, Superantispyware had detected and killed/deleted all threats. Well so far everything looks good and back to order. I must admit that this is one fantastic antispyware software.

Thanks everyone who helped me here.

 

Glad SAS seems to have sorted it for you but I would still post a Hijack log in one of the forums from ErikAlbert's link just to be sure.

SAS is way up there as one of if not the best in my books anyways.
Vista Run CMD as Admin

 

Hello there,
I can read in your signature that you have Nod32 and Bitdefender as antivirus (presumably one resident and one on demand), didn't you scan your system at all with them? Nod32 should be able to take care of that. Kudos to SAS.

 

Good advice imo and if u would like, post a log over here,

Those AV's are excellent for virus's but spyware such as vundo and smitfrauds seem to be more prevalient these days.

SAS is the best! IMHO
