I got a small problem at my computer. My nod 32 informed me there is a virus but it has been contained. After that My internet is working but for some reason I am unable to viit some website such as facebook, google and yahoo. Most other webstie work. Any idea on how can I fix this?

Did you use any scanners?
MalwareBytes & SuperAntispyware are the new popular ones to use.

I scanned with adaware, it deleted soem stuff but i still don't have access google or yahoo. currently scanning with nod32. It is like the purpose of the virus is not to let me to go place like google to get help.

I just finish trying ti with SuperAntispyware, still the same, I will probably need to format my computer tomorrow.

Removing a virus or malware may also corrupt or remove system files. A reformat is usually a safe option as it is often impossible to know how much damage an infection may have caused. However, in this case fixing winsock and tcp/ip may be enough.

Before you reformat, go to John's website and follow his instructions for Adware Spyware & Trojan Removal. As he suggests, run all scans in Safe Mode with Networking.

WEll, I tried safemode scan with SuperAntispyware but the problem still preceed. Although one thign that is very weird is that while I am in safe mode, google and yahoo is working fine. However, after I get back to normal mode, they are not working again. I tried the winsock fix as well. What is the next step? Rep[air xp installation or a clean install?

Well, it looks like something is starting up that is screwing up your computer. Go download CCleaner and see what is starting up. If you see anything that looks suspicious, go google it. (its under tools)
