Sorry guys, I have already checked with questions here, but I couldn't get my answers...
I have tried to install a net monitoring tool in my system and accidentally blocked the internet. But even after uninstalling that tool, I cannot access the internet.
Currently using Windows 8 upgraded from Windows 7
What I did
I tried to use that tool by blocking the ports(80,443) and unblocking it. After that my browser can't access internet.
What I tried to resolve
- Uninstalled net monitor tool.
- Tried several browsers IE,FF,Chrome etc..but no luck.
- Registry clean.
- Flushed the IP.
- Tried to reset the winsock.
Several times restarted.
Other notes
- When I ping google it replies.
- Skype working.
- Firewall disabled.
- No Proxy. Auto detect was selected.
Please help.
2What tool did you use? Have you tried using a system restore point from before you used this tool? – Ramhound – 2012-12-19T14:08:09.963
I know unlikely, but can you check your hosts file (it shouldn't matter but still...). Also, did you do a full AV scan / malware scan? Can you try to load your routers home page as well. – Dave – 2012-12-19T14:13:33.683
@Ramhound I used Net Monitor for Employees by Lookout. System Restore was not configured unfortunately... – Ramkumar – 2012-12-19T14:27:15.757
@DaveRook Yes I used Kaspersky Anti Virus and Microsoft malware removal tool. – Ramkumar – 2012-12-19T14:28:00.717
@Ramkumar, and what about the hosts file and trying to access either a local .HTML file or your routers home page. – Dave – 2012-12-19T14:28:55.863
@DaveRook my host file is fine. All lines were commented using #. When I tried to open a local html file, it is opening up. I was connected to a local network through a windows server 2003 machine. but no access or policy rules were implemented in that server. it is open to all with no restrictions etc., – Ramkumar – 2012-12-19T14:38:09.667
1I would just reinstall the operating system at this point since your unable to use a restoration point. – Ramhound – 2012-12-19T14:48:14.267
Another experiment: (from a Command Prompt)
telnet www.google.com 80
. – Scott – 2012-12-19T16:23:12.927You can try rebooting, installing the tool again, rebooting, uninstalling the tool again, and then rebooting one last time. – David Schwartz – 2012-12-21T02:50:45.313
