I started up my computer today and had no internet connections so i fiddled with the cord as this sometimes fixes the problem. It showed i was connected but i couldn't get any webpages to load. I tried some google searching on my phone and found some rather scary stuff. People saying you have malware, virut or some other bad stuff. I have AVG anti virus which i pay for and I have Malwarebytes Antimalware. I tried scanning with both and got some infections which i removed and it seemed to work fine for roughly an hour. Now its intermittent which the internet being cut. I can talk on skype, play on steam and watch twitch but it will occasionally stop me from loading pages but won't interrupt my skype calls or shut off my twitch stream.

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. I can reinstall windows but I would rather not have to.
 
Solution


Besides scan in safe mode....why not buy a new cord? Not like they are expensive.
boot into f8 safe mode and rerun your scans and run hitman pro too. if it finds a virus google the virus info becuase you need to del the folder and registry entry's it made. you also have to turn off system restore or windows will put the files back.

Now i feel retarded, my internet cable I grabbed was 1 more dad had in a drawer and its kind of borked. I noticed when switching cables in the back that it only shometimes is making a connection. So i think that is the problem. Thanks for the support guys
