If you read my earlier thread, I had some virus called fashion method. After countless hours of deleting, scanning, etc, etc. I finally managed to get rid of it.

However, I am now unable to load web pages. When I try to load a web page, I either have to refresh 5 times due to invalid page, or it just loads a page of the website's text and the images don't load.
 
Regedit, Malware Anti Bytes, searching through various program file folders, and I uninstalled and reinstalled chrome. That seemed to do the trick for me 😛

What Browser are you using?

Can you try a different one?

What Anti Virus are you using?
