Author Topic: Virus forgeted things up  (Read 1191 times)

Okay, I recently had a virus that would not let me search the web or use my antivirus. I got rid of it but it seems to have messed somethings up. For example, I am unable to upload anything to anywhere. This includes Imageshack, Filefront, Mediafire, Photobucket, Yahoo (attachments). I am also unable to use the Steam Store and Community through the portable Steam (one installed on your computer).
It just says
Code: [Select]
Navigation to the webpage was canceled
   
   What you can try:
     Refresh the page.
 
That is the store page.
The community page says
Code: [Select]
This program cannot display the webpage
   
   Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
 
   What you can try:
     Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected. 
 
     Retype the address. 
 
     Go back to the previous page.
 
     More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
This is not a problem with Steam, it has been going on for 2 weeks now. I can only use Steam through a browser.

My best guess is the virus tampered with the network settings in someway that it blocks something that those sites and Steam have in common but I don't know what.

In Soviet Russia,-
No wait, just get your computer checked. Or use the diagnose internet connection.
It works for me.

My internet connection is fine. As I said, something is blocking me from uploading and using Steam.

Hammer + Virus = Nothing useful

Just burn your computer and get a new one if you hate it so much.

Use your antivirus to locate the problem

I had a virus not to long ago that when I turned my computer on the first thing that would pop up would be research galor and erectile disfunction sites. My friends said it was a gift from god, but I ended up getting rid of it in the next week.

THE VIRUS IS GONE

But it messed something up before I removed it.

It was a hit-and-run virus :D


Restore to a previous calendar date before you had the virus and everything worked.

System restore won't let me go back that far.
