I finally found something usefull:
-==============
I have had the same problem many times. I was able to remove the virus but repairing the damage, e.g., IE or Firefox will not open. I tried a host of things, namely, resetting IE but what I found today was that I went to the C

rogram FilesInternet ExplorerConnection WizardRun inetwiz.exeselect Connect Using LAN if you are on a Local Area Network, Check Auto Discovery of proxy server, uncheck manual proxy server if checked. Skip setting of email (optional). Hope this helps although you have connectivity, I had none.
=====================

That seemed to work out for explorer but Firefox still not working. hmm

=========

Firefox now working, thanks norway

I am wondering if anyone knows of some good computer forums to submit computer errors and get quality free help. My friend somehow had malwarebytes mess up her comp and know she can't get online with firefox/explorer.

Firefox says "The proxy server is refusing connections" - firefox is configued to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.

She was never on any proxy servers or set that stuff up. So i have no idea what the deal is, if she got infected by a bot network and now her comp deleted the pathway but also messed up the explorer part too, idk.

What I do know is she can still connect online and can connect to windows live messenger and send messages. Basically her internet is fine just can't use Firefox or Explorer. It is weird.

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time

Probably got infected by a mailing bot.

Anyways, tools, settings (or options, I have non-eng install), advanced, network, settings. Pick the top option, "no proxy" or something to that effect.

yes that is what I want but she doesn't it is one of those EEE notebooks that don't come with the original boot file, so gay.
