I have been infected by a virus that changed my browser's proxy. This was apparently (part of) internet.exe. I have removed this, and any associated files I could find. But I'm still having connection issues. I fixed it in my browsers (resetting proxies), but any other programs that connect to the internet are having connection problems, including windows update.
Does anybody know how I can reset all proxies? Or are there any registry keys or other programs associated with Internet.exe?
I'm on W7 by the way.
Answer
If it was a virus the most simple way to fix this is by doing a simple "System Restore" this will take the computer back to a day you know the computer was working.
This can be done by:
- Start
- Search (Little box below "All Programes")
- System Restore
Long Way if XP or less -
- Start
- All Programes
- Accessories
- System Tools
- System Restore
Follow the on screen instructions, then pick a date you know the computer was working. This will clean the registery issues and fix most system issues. Remember to run a virus scan after. Simple AVG's Free Version would be ok just to give it a test.
