| 863164 | 2010-03-02 07:41:00 | Finally, uninstalled Avast and installed MSE, downloaded the definitions and performed a full scan. It detected a couple of nasty objects which Avast didn't. After the scan has completed (> 5 hrs.), I instructed it to remove all the nasties detected and the whole 'operation' has successfully completed - excellent! I was thinking a restart of the PC will be nice; so, the computer was restarted successfully, sweet as. But, somehow, I lost my Internet connection! I know it's not my router or ISP as my other PC was connecting to the Internet OK. It took me about 10 minutes only to find that MSE has removed my DNS server settings. LOL. Anyone here having similar issues? |

Anyone here having similar issues? Is it just DNS? There are quite a few pieces of Malware that damage the Windows TCP/IP stack when they're removed. If in doubt, run a scan in safe mode with Trojan Remover, and select the repair Layered Service Provider registry entries fix in Utilities. |

My computer was running fine and still runs OK now, after I reset the DNS server settings. |
