The other day I got a virus called new.net [newdotnet] and wut it did was redirect both firefox AND internet explorer to anything but what Im looking for. For instance:

code:

---

www.msgplus.net would bring me to www.msgplus.net.ayv

---

Now I was able to fix this after scanning my anti virus, anti-spyware, anti-virus, anti-spyware.....and so on untill I scanned it 4 times for each of those programs.

     During the scans I had to unplug the cable for my internet into my computer because otherwise newdotnet would come back. when I plugged the internet again newdotnet did NOT come back however my internet either...Windows told me I had a limited connection or no connection at all. I tried everything from unpluging the net from the router to pass it directly to the computer, to resetting the computer 20 times in a row. The computer downstairs (the one Im using now) has no problems at all, no virus, and a perfectly good internet connection.
     What happened however is that when I put my settings of my internet upstairs back to what they were before [another way of trying to make it work] it said I was connected....but I'm still not. I'm just connected to the computer downstairs and I am able to use the printer...that's it....believe me I check ALL my internet settings and they are allw hat they were before the virus. I really don't know what to do anymore because I NEED that computer to work on my website and my friend's website. I promised her she'd get it yesterday and that's when I couldn't connect...I figured I could reformat but I really don't want to have to backup all my data again...any ideas?
