Hi!

My issue i'm having at the moment is that i can't connect to the internet nor can i connected to my home 's intranet LAN network. It's very frustrating.

Here is how the problem raised.

I turned on my computer on Monday to find that i got the Black Screen Of Death (Black screen with only the cursor after logging in to account)

I booted into safe mode. Run several virus scans with multiple programs (Avast, Spybot S&D and Malware Bytes) as i hear the Black SOD is caused by malware. I found no threats. I couldn't use AVG or Kaspersky as they need an internet connection to update to most recent version, not helpful as i need an uptodate database!

I also tried booting into safe mode with networking. This did not work. So i felt that there was a networking issue. I then booted into safe mode and disabled ALL network adapters including Hamachi and nvidia nforce networking controller. After doing so i booted normally and i got hold of my computer again! got past log in screen. the lot. I Have also noticed that my computer is slower than it was the day before. And it hangs for several minutes on the 'shutting down' screen.

I have re-enabled networking controllers and reinstalled drivers for the nVidia nforce network controller. (i have also noticed a lacking of networks adapters in the device manager compared to what was present before disabling all network adapters/ controllers.)This did not work.

I tried pinging my router. And other computers, this didn't work.

I also tried 'ipconfig /renew /release' command prompts and windows timed out connecting to some adapters.

While typing command 'Ipconfig /all' i noticed that there was a lot of information which i feel that shouldn't be there!! (I'm at school at the moment, i will post information found in CMD prompt

I tried 'CHKDSK /C /R' I recieved no errors

I manually inputted the i.p. DNS & suffix mask address, nothing is working!

I'm really stumped with what to do! Can someone please help me!

Thanks in advanced. Lewis



 
With TDSSKiller. it wont run. ''The version of this file is not compatiable with the version of windows you are currently running" i hate this message.

I'll try out combofix

edit: Hmmm well. I tried combofix. I get the same message. Also. I placed TDSSkiller in a folder and renamed it. 123.exe It worked on this current desktop unit, pop it on a usb. It still workds. plug that into the problematic pc and then the contents of the folder disapeared.. I don't see whats happening here.

Edit#2: Okay after i thought the rootkit or malware could of been disabling the .exe's i thought of putting them onto a disk. Sure enough they are now working. and TDSSkiller is now running.

Okay well i found a spare network card laying around the house.. sure enough my internet connection is now top notch and performing as it should! Thanks for all the help guys/ gals. but sorry this was sorted out this easily. But i thnk when i disabled all those adapters.. They got lost??? Because they completely disapeard from device manager. But all is well now!

Sorry for wasting your time if i did but all in all. thanks a bunch!!!!
