Hi, I am using Windows 7 and until yesterday Chrome was working fine. Then it just stopped working and internet explorer is the same! I know my internet is working cos I can wirelessly connect on my laptop. However I connect with ethernet cable to my PC (that isnt working ) so I don't know if this is an issue. I have done a virus scan with superantispyware, malwarebytes, windows defender, bazooka, spywareterminator, adaware, spybot and Avast and found a couple of things that have been deleted. I have done a registry scan. I have tried reinstalling internet explorer to no avail. I have cleared out my browsing history. I have tried disabling add-ons. I am also fairly sure my ethernet cable is working cos my computer can do virus database updates, connect to steam and connect to the itunes store! This problem is just with my browsers. More specifically at the moment, internet explorer 8. Please help!
My ipconfig is here...

I have found the internet does start in safe mode! How do I determine the problem now?

hi, not sure if this is a fix but worth a try ,
open IE ,go to tools /internet options /advanced ,and in there reset IE settings .

also you could try unplugging your router from the power source for a few minutes ,then plug it back in .
