Repair Internet Connectivity/Networking [Technical-Tip]

After performing some thorough malware scans using such programs like ADW Cleaner, you may find upon restart that you no longer have internet connectivity. Note this repair is NOT for those technically challenged and should only be attempted by those familiar with command line diagnostics:

One of these three options should fix the problem:

Go to Start ... Run and type in cmd
A dos Window will appear.
Type in the dos window: netsh winsock reset
Click on the enter key.

Reboot your system to complete the process.
This should fix it but If needed : type these one line at a time, press enter after each line. See if it works after each (from the command prompt)


netsh interface ipv4 reset
netsh interface ipv6 reset
ipconfig /flushdns

Now check if the internet is working again.
