Spyware and spyware removal often will break your internet connection. Here are some suggestions.


Spyware will often screw with your dns, name servers, and TCP/IP stack. Removing the spyware may completely kill your internet connection. Here are some suggestions. Most of these are collected from other recipes on this site.

This is the order I would do things. If one works, don’t do the rest.

First remove all viruses and spyware from your computer:

Desperation:

    Use hijack this to delete any references to name servers. An example would be:
    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{079ECE21-2D77-4A31-B64C-AD5A2FC6B506}: NameServer = 192.168.1.1

    Examine your host file and delete an abnormal looking entries there as well. (C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)
    Then try a reboot.

One of these solutions will typically work. If you have any more suggestions, please post them in the comments below.

    I really appreciate you posting the link to download the fix. After I removed spyware off my computer, I could not reach the site for my college, this was imperative since I take online classes through the college!!

    Thanks so much!!

    To go along with you said up there look for a proxy reg key in hijack this. I was working on a system and completely overlooked that key twice before I saw it.
