IE Problems...Malware?????

My computer is currently not going online therefore I cannot do the steps in Read and Run me first. The computer shows that it is connected to the Internet but when I open IE it says Cannot display webpage. Messengers will not connect either. I have reset the modem and also called my ISP and they reset from their end and said that they were showing a connection. The PC activity light is on.

I have checked Zone Alarm Settings to make sure that it is not preventing me from connecting.

I have repaired the connection in Local area connection status

In Internet Options I have deleted files, cookies, history, forms, and passwords.

Privacy is set to medium

Security is set to medium High

Windows Firewall is turned off

I have reset the homepage

I have restored advanced settings

Reset Internet Explorer Settings

Occassionally right after I reset the modem IE will pull up the Internet but the page if full of red X's where the graphics are supposed to be and will only say connected for about a minute. When I type in an address like www.google.com the page says address not valid and displays http:\\\ in the URL.

I am OUT of ideas and have no idea what the problem may be. I have attached an HJT log as it is the only thing that I can run.

Thanks,
April

 

Download and Run Winsock XP Fix

You'll need to download from whatever computer you are using.

That fix your connection issues?
