Hi all, I've been working on a machine that was hijacked with all the
trimmings. I have successfully run adaware, cwshredder, stinger, spybot,
removed the dso registry settings etc... everything comes up clean now. The
computer connects to the network and I can ping ip's and names from the cmd
prompt, but when I try to use a browser(IE or Netscape) nothing, or update
any app(adaware, norton, etc) same. If I boot into safe mode, browsers work.
I have startup running only the basics. Any advice about what will get this
working?

Thanx, T.Khan

Thanx Mac,
I will try this weekend when on the client site. Hopefully it will work, if
not, it's the right track to follow. Thanks for the info and I will check
back w/ results.

After many hours and a few more gray hairs, I traced it down to Norton
Antivirus. It had been corrupted by a virus or adware cr*p and was blocking
everything. As soon as I traced it to the norton services and uninstalled to
program, viola,it ran perfect. I have been coming increasingly disappointed
with NAV, and have been using AVG and avast! and think they are great. And
not a bad price I might add. Thanx for the help! T. Khan
