Can not visit sites such as microsoft.com, or any antivirus sites at all, including MBAM, PANDA, Online Scanners, and more theres a file also called "D" that is to remove confliktor virus, ran it in safe mode, it detected nothing. ran mbam, which is fairly updated [was last updated on the first] that too detected nothing, can not update mbam, hosts file has been checked out, nothing wrong there [and it also has been restored] -- another problem is not being able to set the "Show hidden files and folders" option without regeditting the value to '1' instead of '0' edited by moderator: remove HJT log

good luck, I hope someone requested the log. It will probably get deleted. Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers

figured why wait for someone to request the log and get it over with quickly
