Websites won't load, even though I'm connected

Hello guys,
I apologize in advance for my English, but it’s my second language and I’m not quite sure about all the terms and phrases in this case
I’m having trouble with the internet. (I know that sounds dumb, but I can’t think of a better way to put it) My computer is connected via Wi-Fi, everything’s fine, I’m connected to the router and the internet, but when I launch a browser (tried Firefox, Chrome and IE – with lot of self-denial) the page starts loading but it lasts for about 20 seconds and then everything stops and won’t work again, until I restart the computer. After that, everything repeats and I’ve already restarted the PC for about 30 times at least.
I’ve tried everything I can think of so far:
LAN connection does the same thing
Checkdisk/scandisk found no problem
Repair from the original win7 CD did nothing
CMD line – tried resetting IP, DNS, clearing caches (ipconfig /renew and others – I found those on some forums)
Searched the whole computer 2 times (AVG) and once even from the safe mode through cmd
Changing DNS to google or other DNS servers, checked IP match etc.
No strange processes or apps running in the background and nothing unknown starts during the startup

I’ve encountered this problem about a week or two ago, but it took about 2 or 3 restarts and it was ok. Until yesterday I’ve only hibernated the computer because of some apps, after couple of days I finally shut it down and the day after, this problem popped up and I can’t get rid of it

I opened the PC case and there is nothing wrong with neither the motherboard nor the wireless card/adapter
When I start the PC using safe mode, the internet is fine and other computers in the network work with no difficulties

The internet connection does not drop or fail or anything (or at least it doesn’t show anything like that)

In the past 4 weeks I only installed 4 things apart from Win updates – LoL, Pando Media Booster (I’ve tried disabling it and it was good for nothing), update for atube catcher and a driver for wireless card/adapter (which is not even needed for the card to connect, but I wanted to try it just in case)

Everything in the computer seems fine – the connection signals, that nothing’s wrong and the same thing applies for the wireless card, settings etc.

I’m using Win 7, using home network (everything was fine for about 2 or 3 years), I’ve tried consulting with university students in this field, but nobody could solve it and there is nothing like let’s say “Nerd herd”, where I could call and get an advice in my country

I’d be really grateful for any advice and I hope the thread makes sense

Thank you

Best regards

Viktor
 
Let's make sure you don't have a virus.


Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from here or here and save it to your desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. Please keep updating until it says you have the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • A log will be saved automatically which you can access by clicking on the Logs tab within Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

If for some reason Malwarebytes will not install or run please download and run Rkill.scr, Rkill.exe, or Rkill.com. If you are still having issues running rkill then try downloading these renamed versions of the same program.

EXPLORER.EXE
IEXPLORE.EXE
USERINIT.EXE
WINLOGON.EXE

But DO NOT reboot the system and then try installing or running Malwarebytes. If Rkill (which is a black box) appears and then disappears right away or you get a message saying rkill is infected, keep trying to run rkill until it over powers the infection and temporarily kills it. Once a log appears on the screen, you can try running malwarebytes or downloading other programs.



Download the HijackThis installer from here.
Run the installer and choose Install, indicating that you accept the licence agreement. The installer will place a shortcut on your desktop and launch HijackThis.

Vista and Windows 7 users must right click on the hijackthis icon and click on run as. If the run as option doesn't appear then press and hold the shift key while right clicking on the icon to get it to appear.


Click Do a system scan and save a logfile

Most of what HijackThis lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

When the hijackthis log appears in a notepad file, click on the edit menu, click select all, then click on the edit menu again and click on copy. Come back to your reply and right click on your mouse and click on paste.

Post the logfile that HijackThis produces along with the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log
