When I clicked start and typed the command into the search field it ran it. If that didn't work I was going to reboot and try running it using Windows repair from the installation CD.

Scan completed and no infections found.

And fixing command prompt allowed me to run the Windows Repair tool which fixed being able to browse websites. Everything seems to be working fine now.

Thanks again for your help!

Well its still in the process of doing the scan but I think I resolved my issue with the windows repair tool. When I tried to open a command prompt window to do what you said it wouldn't open up. I typed "cmd" in the run field and nothing happened. So I went into accessories and it shows "Command Prompt" but when I click it nothing happens. Turns out the file was damaged and when I did a "sfc /scannow" it repaired it. Now the windows repair tool is working properly. Probably the reason why combofix wasn't working either.

Anyways, mbam has scanned over 100k files now and still hasn't found a threat. I'll continue to let it finish and see what it comes up. Thanks for your help.

Nope. I even tried diagnosing the connection and it found no issues. Also checked device manager to see if there was anything wrong with the network adapter and no issues there.

Went into safe mode w/networking and tried "iexplore -extoff" and it loaded up IE w/o addons but still doesn't load any websites.

Now trying a custom scan w/mbam as you suggested. My other issue with mbam is I can't update it but I downloaded the latest installer.

Thanks for the response!

I already ran mbam prior to using the windows repair tool. It found issues and quarantined them. My issue now is that I can't use the internet. It's connected but when I open a browser it won't load anything. So whatever malware I had on the machine must have damaged a system file(s). I tried running combofix prior to using the repair tool but it gets stuck at outputting to a folder every time I run it. So I decided to try this windows repair tool and I'm getting fail repair attempts every time I run it. I just now tried an older version and same issue. So I guess at this point I'm almost ready to format and re-install W7.

Hello,

I'm having issues with running the repair tool. I've tried running it multiple times and each time it fails after 4 attempts. It tells me to run the program in Safe Mode and even there it fails. It doesn't matter which preset I choose it still fails at repair 1/7 every single time. I've disabled my antivirus(Security Essentials) and my pc is not connected to the internet. Is there an older version of the software that will work better with Windows 7 64 bit? Thanks.
