Can't use Internet! Please help!

Hey guys I'm stuck browsing and posting from my iPhone so please excuse the grammar.

I ran into a malicious site earlier and I think my laptop was briefly infected by something. The site did trigger my avira and windows defender alerts. It was something called antivir solutions pro or something where it was a bogus scanner-type of program that was running on my laptop. I then closed everything and restarted my laptop. I then scanned my laptop with ad aware, spybot, and avira. Everything seems fine now and the scanners didn't really detect too much. The only problem left is that now when I try to use the Internet via explorer or firefox, it won't let me.

It's sayin that my firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. I'm thinkin the virus, or whatever, changed these values. I tried everything but cannot figure out how to get access to the Internet with my laptop. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. I haven't been able to check any work emails since earlier today. Thanks in advance!

 

Hi, Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling firefox and ie?

 

I did think about it, but if I delete it and can't access the Internet. How do I download it again to reinstall?

 

It changed a few things in your windows registry and a few settings in your proxy settings.

Symptoms that may be in a HijackThis Log:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5643

or you could try a System Restore to an earlier point however those randomly named malicious files will still be present but inactive.
