So, I had a virus show up on my computer while I was out of town for a few days (Family used it. . .ugh) and when I got back it was a decently bad one. . .but nothing to bad. Just the traditional Popups with 'MANDATORY ANTI VIRUS PROGRAMS' and my brackground being changed.
I ran my Anti-Malaware, SpyBot and Adaware several times. . .found quite a few infections, removed them did a double check. . .all was back and well (or so I thought). Everything was back to normal after only a few hours.
My PC is 100%, both in speed and processes. However when using ANYTHING internet based (Web Browser, AIM, MSN, Ventrilo, TeamSpeak) it experiences major lag while ESTABLISHING a link. All other programs run perfectly once the link is established, minus the Web Browsers (Both IE and FireFox). So once AIM or Vent is up. . .it runs fine. . .however Browsers maintain the lag.
Now. . .my question is. 1) Even though the virus is gone, why are my net apps not running properly. 2) Any ideas on what I can do to fix it?
I've used every scan. . .search. . .and trick I know when dealing with viruses because I've had my fair share. However I've never had an after effect like this that was so apparent and I cannot find ANY other virus or wierd program on my machine.
Thanks in advance.
