No Internet Access After Malware Removal
Nov 24, 2015
A few days ago, after a poor string of decisions, I contracted the esurf.biz broswer hijacker virus, along with possible others. I then proceeded to start cleaning my computer, first with ESET NOD32, then AdwCleaner, then Junkware Removal Tool, then Malwarebytes, and finally HitmanPro, along with deleting the malicious browser shortcuts. This was all done according to the MalwareTips removal guide for this virus.
After completing this and restarting my computer, I discovered that my internet connection was not working. The network drivers and the network and sharing center both detect a connection, but no internet browsers nor any other programs that use internet are working. Although for some reason I am still getting steam popups about friends' game activity. At this point I have scanned the computer multiple times more with different softwares and nothing more has come up. Proxy servers are not enabled in any of the browsers, or in the LAN settings. I have also reset winsock. I have run several Farbar Service scans (most recent included below), but all that shows up is "other errors" for Yahoo.com. Previously, it turned up an error for windows update, but I resolved it

A terrible malware has infected my computer like a cancer. For every time I try to remove this illness, it damages my system, and leaves me no choice but to keep it on my computer in order to use it!
Basically what's happening with my computer is I will run a scan with malwarebytes and remove the malware on my system. Once I reboot my computer, my internet is gone, kind of. I am able to send PMs over skype and over steam. However, I can't talk in skype groups, and the steam home page doesn't load. Furthermore, I can't access the internet with any web browser.
A troubleshoot tells me that my winsock files are missing or corrupted, but it can't repair them, and when I reset these files use the CMD command 'netsh winsock reset' in an elevated command prompt, it tells me there are no issues, and the winsock registry entries are there (Though I don't know if they're damaged or not). I don't know for sure what the malware is but I think it said something about being a DNS hijacker? Could these strange internet problems be related to my DNS settings and not a winsock issue?

I'm not sure when it started, but all of a sudden I discovered that I did not have the ability to Drag and Drop a file from File Explorer's right pane to the left pane. I get the circle with line through it indicating that I can't do that. I can drag and drop a file within the right pane but not to the left pane. To move a file, I could only copy or cut and paste.
I wondered if some of the registry tweaks that I performed to clean up the Navigation Pane some days earlier might be causing the anomaly. I had followed Shawn's tutorials to remove Videos, Pictures and Music folders. I also removed HomeGroup and Quick Access. His instructions worked flawlessly.
To see if any of those tweaks was causing the DnD problem, I systematically reversed each one, one at a time. Here is my finding.
As soon as I restored Quick access my ability to Drag and Drop in File Explorer was restored! To verify my findings, I removed Quick access and lost my DnD again. Restored it a regained DnD again. I Hope this can be useful for those who are having the DnD problem.

My internet worked fine and I didn't do any changes to it up until it stopped working. I've managed to fix the internet access to allow me to access the internet on my laptop through wi-fi but network access still says no internet access. Websites work however ethernet does not work! I can't connect online on my playstation because ethernet doesn't work. I've tried disabling and enabling the ethernet. I checked the cables, I re-installed the drivers and i turned off and on the router more than I could count.
The internet works on my laptop however a connection test on my playstation 3 says obtain ip address succeeded and internet connection failed. So I can't play online. I am absolutely certain the playstation 3 is not fault as I checked vigurously the settings and I've put in the right connections, however it still does not work? Should I buy new cables for the router?

I have a gaming pc. Core i7. Gigabyte Sniper 5 motherboard with wireless lan, ethernet and intel ethernet. So 2 lan ports and a wireless connection. My network and internet is working on my mac iPad and phone. But for some reason on my pc it is showing that the connection has internet access but no apps will work. Skype, steam, origin, i.e, chrome. I have tried everything. I can use a personal hotspot via bluetooth with my phone to the pc as it has bluetooth as well and then the internet works with no problem. I am guessing it is a hardware issue ? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software but it is not working.

Upgraded to windows last week and all has been great. Today, I lost internet connectivity on my Windows 10 PC this morning. I still have Network access to view the Windows 10 machine from the rest of my network. . Restarted the router and modem and still no internet access. Device manager says no issues with my Realtek Network card.

I have upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I have not had any issues in Windows 7. Everytime I restart my computer, it will say I will be connected to my WiFi but with a triangle saying no internet access. A solution is to open the device manager, uninstall the driver under "network adapters", unplug and plug the usb wifi adapter. Then enter the password for the network, then it works. I have to do this everytime I restart my pc.
I am using, Realtek RTL8192CU Wireless LAN USB Network Adapter...

I have an issue on both my Windows 10 laptop and desktop PC. Both are DELL and new. Suddenly, my PC wouldn't connect to the internet using ANY wifi network. For this reason, I eliminated my WiFi modem - because the same issue happened when using my phone tethering. Using the Ethernet cable worked. Then a few weeks later my laptop has the same issue, but with this I can't plug in an ethernet port, because it dosen't have one. Both computers had IP Vanish VPN (probably nothing to do with it but thought I'd mention). I believe these issues happened after updates.
I've tried disabling firewall, antivirus, uninstalling Vanish VPN, using cmd from things I've seen recommended, updated network adapter on desktop.

Recently my laptop has a boot error and auto recovery and maintenances could not solve the issue. So I reset the laptop but kept the files and now it boots perfectly fine however none of the internet is working. It shows that I am connected to the wifi but there is no access whatsoever. I even uninstaled my network adapters and even tried a wired conmection and everything seems to not work. All my other devices are connected to the router perfectly.
I am using a lenovo y50 touch with windows ten 64bit.
I have already tried updating drivers, deleting temp files, disabling firewall (antivirus was removed from reset), and already tried the ip config release and renew.

Windows 10 worked great after initial download and installation. After 10 days, started seeing long delays in accessing the internet which I attributed to CHARTER (TV, phone, and internet). Now, when I try to open Edge, I get an error message:
Windows 10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explorer.EXE
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can still open my eMail (Yahoo! Mail) through the Explorer logo in the Startup Box, but when I click on links in an eMail message, nothing happens.
When I click to open Edge, the screen shows a quick white outline of the Edge (large Blue box), then disappears!
The Internet must still be working...my eMail messages are updated as usual, and I am receiving all the Windows 10 Updates as indicated in Settings.

I installed Windows 10 yesterday on 2 lap tops. Everything was fine, i could access the web. I installed it on a third one this morning. It was seeing the network but said it could not access it. I changed the password in the rooter thinking that it would ask me for the new password has Windows 7 does. But it did not.
Now I also have the same problem on the 3 lap tops. I cannot find the place to put in my password like I did on Windows 7. If I try to access 'manually' it does not recognize either. I know it is not my rooter because I was able to access the new password with an old lap top still on Windows 7 and also with my cell. So password and rooter work fine.

I logged onto my laptop as usual this morning and opened up Firefox. However, on trying to open a website it responds as of I'm not connected. My WiFi says 'no Internet, secured'. I tried the mac and it has the same connection issues, but for some reason I can use the WiFi on my phone alright?

Basically I installed onedrive for the first time on my computer, and I got a threat warning by my eset virus scanner. The message was something like c nedriveTemp followed by a long series of numbers. I tried to scan and delete the file but it keeps coming back. That threat message keeps notifying me like every 10 min.

Today, when i opened my PC i found out that i have "No internet connection". The last time i used it was last night, and it worked like a charm. The problem is from the software itself I guess because other devices seem to be working fine connected to the internet. This also happened to me while using windows 8.1 but I got it fixed everytime with a simple "netsh" command. Now things aren't this simple, i tried multiple fixes and none of them worked. I tried to update the driver from the device manager but i can't find the microsoft and the producer driver, instead i find some outdated drives from like 2013.

Yesterday I updated my Windows 7 desktop PC to win10, and my internet worked perfectly, both wired and wireless. But today, it just stopped and until now it is still like that, famous yellow triangle. Wifi works. Tried almost everything, changing from DHCP to static, disabling firewall, updating/reinstalling network drivers. I am not using any VPN as far as I know. My network adapter is nvidia nforce.
After switching to static address, I noticed that my adapter changed from unidentified to network, but still in the status window of my adapter i see that ipv4 and ipv6 have no internet access. As I said, other devices work perfectly via wifi.

I have two computers running Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview Build 9926. One computer is a desktop and it is working perfectly. The other is a new HP 15-F039WM laptop and it came with Windows 8.1 With Bing installed and it also works perfectly in Windows 8.1 mode. I resized the hard drive on the HP laptop to free up 150Gb of space and then installed Windows 10 TP Build 9926 from DVD. It still works perfectly when I use dual boot to go into Windows 8.1. When I use dual boot to go into Windows 10, the network icon in the system tray says "Unidentified network - No Internet access". I did swap cables, etc, but I knew that wouldn't work because the laptop does have Internet access when booting to Windows 8.1.
I read through some threads here after searching for DHCP and connectivity issues and even tried some of the suggestions such as using regedit to look at the network profile. There isn't a network profile. It is displaying a 169... IP Address, so I know that it isn't getting an IP. I tried to manually add the correct settings that work for Windows 8.1 (192.168.0.15 with 192.168.0.1 as the Gateway), but that fails.

This just happened recently, and still not fixed.
My router modem is changed. The internet works properly in any other devices which are not win10.
From the wifi connection: it's connected to ssid but no internet access. I cant even ping the gateway. And from the troubleshooting it mentioned that some protocols are missing.

I am unable to get on the internet via my wireless wi-fi network since a Win 10 update was pushed out to me yesterday, 12/16/15. I get a message to the effect that it took too long to log into my wi-fi.
I first upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7 about 2 months ago on my laptop. I experienced no issues until I was forced to reboot yesterday morning. It took about 5 minutes (or so it seemed) for the updates to install. Since then, every time I try to go to the internet, it times out regardless of which browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera) I try. All other devices in the house connect to the wi-fi network okay, so the problem is not with my network.
I tried the suggestion that involved typing "REG DELETE..." in the command line, but that did not work

Since downloading to Windows 10 I have had trouble connecting my computer to the Internet. I am on a college campus and having a computer with no internet is like a truck driver without a truck. I am able to connect to the Internet at random times for a few moments before it shows up with limited acces symbol on my wifi icon in the bottom right hand corner. My internet works fine when it is plugged in through an Ethernet cable but that is very inconvenient.
