[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Networking probelms caused by spyware

[Jobefx]

I have a computer at work that i tried to use and realized that it had spyware. I ran both adaware and spybot. It got rid of most of the spyware... over 300 hundred instances. But now I can not hit the network at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled the networking protocols but that didnt help. Anybody got any ideas? I really cant afford to format the computer.


Thanks

I guess first step would be to determine if its browser, proxy or network related.

Rule out network:
start-run
telnet www.google.com 80
<in black window>GET http://www.google.com

get a response then its not network

if its not network; make sure there isn't a proxy configured (unless there is supposed to be one)

failing that, the easy solution would be to use msn explorer to download firefox

if it is network related, make sure you are getting a valid ip address; make sure you can ping the gateway on the network; make sure you don't need to configure a proxy

outta time for now
