Nothing connects to internet But Firefox?

the virus - and a lot of others just like it - hook or break parts of your browser.

they do this to make it harder for you to remove it.

Often they also corrupt parts of the registry that have to do with the IP stack and your particular network card's drivers.

You could go step by step,

-remove / clean out any recycle bin files and disable system restore.

- check your startup files both in /start menu/programs/startup and registry HKCM/CU: system/software/microsoft/windows/run

- SFC http://ask-leo.com/what_is_the_system_file_checker...

... compare your files to a known good copy, like your install disks

- remove all traces of chrome

- remove all you can of any IE addons/plugins through control panel> internet options

- remove all you can of any IE left

- run multiple scans using different AV/anti-malware products

using FF, get ready to download all new copies of Chrome, IE, and your network drivers

-- then remove any possibly corrupted network drivers.

... now rebuild, reinstall it all.

You've got probably about 50% chance of this resulting in all those parts working to restore your system if you are careful.

**Best recommendation: save your data thjat is needed, and wipe the system out ( Darik's Boot and Nuke or SDelete first..) reflash your BIOS, then format & install Windows from scratch. Then restore your data, and all your programs.

This may take a while, but at least when you're done you are back to work.

it particularly is in all probability the homestead windows proxy settings. Firefox makes use of its very own proxy settings, so it would not be affected by those. precise click on the internet Explorer icon and pass to internet concepts. In there, locate the place the proxy settings are (i'm no longer in homestead windows precise now so i can't examine) and be sure it particularly is set to none. each and every so often the computerized detection would not paintings so nicely.

Maybe you need to wipe the computer and load Windows back on?
