Something is blocking all of my programs that connect to the internet

[TagForcer09]

Programs that have stopped working: battle.net, yugioh pro (online card game), firefox, nightly, viber

Google Chrome works, but something is creating randomly named folders in C program files (x86) that contain all the chrome files and its freaking me out. I had the amlsites hijacker a while ago but removed it.

A few weeks ago, I had a bunch of programs randomly installed on my PC including some korean web browser and I ran malwarebytes and completely deleted all the quarantined files. When I restarted my computer, I noticed I couldn't open FIrefox at all, it would always insta-crash. So could it be that I actually damaged my registry?
Because there's random stuff on my PC I can't do. For example, if I right click on "PC" and click properties the screen just hangs forever. Or immediately after I ran malwarebytes, upon restarting the PC my "explorer.exe" wouldn't automatically start and the screen was black.

Please, is there anything I can do to see if it's indeed a virus or I indeed fudged up my registry? Is there a way to like set your registry back to default?

I will provide more info if asked.

Hey Tagforcer09,

Disable your internet connection but leave your firewall turned on.

Download the following tools and run them in order;

First you need RKill, it should end most malware processes so they can't defend or hide them self against/from a scan.

To make sure you don't have any nasty Rootkits, download Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit and do a scan its FREE.

Download Malwarebytes ADWCleaner (Its Free - Acts as a very good adware cleaner)

https/www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/

Download Malwarebytes Junkware Removal Tool (Its Free - Removes Junkware from browsers, shortcuts, etc.)

https/www.malwarebytes.com/junkwareremovaltool/

Download HerdProtect (Its Free - Acts as a great malware, virus, etc scanner. This requires an internet connection so run this scan LAST)

Then as you already have it run a malwarebytes scan to finish up, reboot your PC and see how you go.

Hope this helps

If this removes the malware and you still cannot access the internet, disable your firewall and check. Something may have added a rule blocking outbound connections.
