The problem is the browser wont load sites however the pc does have internet. I installed chrome from my flashdrive to see if that would help but it didnt.
I found out that he did have internet, and the browser worked in "Safemode With Networking." so I have to assume it is either a virus or corrupted driver.
The pc is windows vista and as you know gives a lot of programs admin problems
Also an something to note, I was talking to him and he didnt think he had ever had symantec on his computer ( this is my friends dads computer) so all of those symantec files seem really suspicious to me.
I open Msconfig and see this "c:\users\McRae Equipment\AppData\Local\svcxdcl32.exe"
I uncheck it and restart, no luck.
So I run combofix. - Both times I rand combofix - it had warnings about admin so I manually closed windows explorer, did not know what else to do.
Heres the log
ComboFix 12-06-20.02 - McRae Equipment 06/20/2012 12:02:30.1.2 - x86 NETWORK M - Pastebin.com
it did delete things, the same file I removed from startup but still, no luck.
Next I ran Malwarebytes, I dont have the log for it but it deleted something from java it detected as a crypting malware.
btw that scan took 45 mins I was really mad.
So then I got out hijack this, sorry it is 2.0.4, I didnt know if this

deleted some random things bleh, kindof took a frustrated stab at it.

After all of this it still didnt work so I scanned with combofix again
ComboFix 12-06-20.02 - McRae Equipment 06/20/2012 13:32:20.1.2 - x86 MINIMAL M - Pastebin.com
To no avail.
Still the browser works in safemode with networking
The hosts file said
then I took a look at ipconfig \all, I didnt think to save it but I do remember seeing "domain_not_set.invalid" and thinking it was strange. I researched this and it appeared to be a modem problem, not a browser problem and with the browser working in safemode I figured it wasnt the problem.
Anyhow any tips on removing this would be greatly appreciated. I spent a good 3 hours trying to do it on my own.
Also I ran system restore to about 2 weeks ago and it seems everything came back, at least the msconfig entry was there, at this point I was too frustrated to continue.

To no avail.
Still the browser works in safemode with networking
The hosts file said
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
then I took a look at ipconfig \all, I didnt think to save it but I do remember seeing "domain_not_set.invalid" and thinking it was strange. I researched this and it appeared to be a modem problem, not a browser problem and with the browser working in safemode I figured it wasnt the problem.
Anyhow any tips on removing this would be greatly appreciated. I spent a good 3 hours trying to do it on my own.
Also I ran system restore to about 2 weeks ago and it seems everything came back, at least the msconfig entry was there, at this point I was too frustrated to continue.
