Page Cannot Be Displayed!

I have a major problem with my internet that I believed is caused by a few viruses. When surfing the net, on numerous occasions I have to Refresh my page because it does not load. Currently I'm hardly getting to use the internet. I did a scan with Avast and found these infections:
1. win32.hidewnd
2. win32.generic - w
3. win32.generic - v

It cleaned them {so it said} but apparently whenever I do a scan again I find these same suckers.

This is my log file. Please advise me on what to do. I could not get to do the online scan because of the problem I have.

Looks good.
What problems remain?

Please copy and paste the following text in the quote to Notepad. Save it as "All Files" and name it FixServices.bat. Please save it on your desktop.

@echo off
sc stop "RVStarter_Lerex"
sc stop "SRVStarter_nerw"
sc delete "RVStarter_Lerex"
sc delete "SRVStarter_nerw"
exit

Double click FixServices.bat. A window will open and close. This is normal.

i still seem to have the internet probs but not as much now.

It's irritating. What can we do?

I see Comodo firewall, that could be your problem, if your security settings are too high, it causes problems.
I don't know how to lower myself, never used Comodo, see if you can find a way to lower it/temp disable it, see if your internet connection improves.

which firewall is the best free one that i can use instead of comodo?

becuase i dont really like it but i would still need 1

wut do u suggest?

Some good free firewalls are ZoneAlarm, Kerio, or
Outpost
A tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here.

Please also read Tony Klein's excellent article: How I got Infected in the First Place

okok...

I'll change the firewall and will tell you of the condition of my system.
I broswed through that article already.

Thanx alot. Keep doing what you do, the world needs more people who would help other people.

Thanx!

Yeah, it does.
The fight will continue.

Your version of Java is outdated and needs to be updated to take advantage of fixes that have eliminated security vulnerabilities.
Updating Java:

• Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 update 7.
  
• Scroll down to where it says "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 7".
  
• Click the "Download" button to the right.
  
• In the Window that opens, select your platform and language, check the "agree" box, and click Continue.
  
• Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation and save to your desktop.
  
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  
• Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add or Remove Programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  
• Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  - Examples of older versions in Add or Remove Programs:
  - Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2
  - J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0
  - J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
  
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  
• Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u7-windows-i586-p.exe that you downloaded to install the newest version.
  

ok... going and do that now. Can that affect my internet problem?

Not really, I just saw an out of date version of Java in your log, and just wanted you to update it.

Let me know if your internet connection improves if you switch firewalls.

I will...

u should know that even after i disabled it, i still have the internet problem.

Hold tight, i'm gettting a second look from a colleague.

ok np... have all the time in the world...

I am not trying to interrupt, but it looks like you guys can use some help...

Can you tell me what model of modem/roughter/both that you use?
Can you tell me what type of internet connection you have? (IE: Dialup/Highspeed)

umm im not home at the moment so i wont be able to tell u exactly what modem i use but i think it's called agere and im on dial up.

Dial-up is extremely unreliable in my opinion.
When the connection problems start?

What Dialup service are you using? Is it NetZero?
Have you tried any other solutions posted on other forums to your malware problems before posting here? If so, please provide a link to the topics where you recieved the help.
Can any other applications besides your web browser connect to the internet?


Please write the answer to each question as accurately as possible, as the answers to these questions will determine the fix that we will use.

What Dialup service are you using? Is it NetZero?
I live in Guyana and I use Internet Works.

Have you tried any other solutions posted on other forums to your malware problems before posting here? If so, please provide a link to the topics where you recieved the help.
Yes, i posted on another site,

Can any other applications besides your web browser connect to the internet?

Nope

Plz note that i only started getting this problem after i inserted a friend's flash drive into my pc.

Ok, you stated that MIRC pops up sometimes at startup?

Yes, please remove it. Problems caused by MIRC are rair but the do exist.
You can remove it through add and remove programs in the control panel.

Where you having internet connection problems before you requested help from the other forum? I wouldnt agree with some of there methods, and I believe that they might have caused your problems.

Please reply soon.

i removed mirc a few days ago but still the problem persisted.

Yes i had the internet problems before that's why i asked them for help. But they gace me no solution for that problem.

Ok, I am going to report to the other staff members and see if they have any other ideas.

Dont worry friend, we will get this problem solved!

another problem at the moment. Last night i left my bro on the pc which was working good at that time. When i came on today i noticed that the pc was slow and sometimes the icons will disappear and a pop up window will open and it would say "Personalizing Setting" and below that something about recyclers. It ends to fast to get to read everything.

I usually just run the cleaner part every time I'm done with the browser.During the install there will be check marks for checking for updates that part I do not use and also to install a tool bar for yahoo or something. Make sure those are unchecked unless you want another tool bar, It is a very safe program and it is free.(CCleaner Quick Setup: Go to > Options > Advanced > Uncheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours" for cleaning malware. files!)
