Friend of mine got herself a nasty virus. (computer virus)
She doesn't remember the name of it, however it involved hijacking IE.

Computer was scanned for viruses, adaware ran, and CWshredder ran.

Windows XP SP2 and all it's updates have been applied.

The problem is that the computer cannot access the internet.
I.E. pops up and never able to get to the page.
Zone alarm is installed, and we are never even prompted that IE wants to get out.
Firefox was installed after the de-virusing and even it does not get around to getting
to the internet.
Some programs DO get to the internet. Just not our browsers.


We are re-installing IE 6 I think, this morning.
Any ideas? when that doesn't work?
