XP Pro running IE 6 still. The computer was infected with got knows what
viruses and my new AV protection cleaned them all. However now whenever I
try to go to microsoft.com, google, yahoo or all the big sites I get the DNS
error saying it can't find the site.
1. IPconfig shows the correct DNS servers (not hijacked)
2. TRACERT to Microsoft.com works
3. Using IE to go to FTP://FTP.microsoft.com works
4. Many other non-bigname sites all work (like coleman.com, sears.com,
lowes.com)
5. Telnet works fine.
Basically it looks like something is still hooked into IE and when the AV
protection cleaned out whatever it was IE is still trying to route me
through the infected files that are not there, so I get a DNS error.
I ran Hijack this and it comes up clean. No BHOs, no unusual startups or
services.
