Proxy Settings Problem!

[trt]

I am using my laptop to write this as my desktop says
I cant connect to internet on Google chrome or Firefox as it says can not connect.
This has happened since I did a malaware scan about an hour ago.

Any help appreciated.

I'm confused as to why you've mentioned proxy settings but, just in case it's relevant, let's start there:

In Firefox, go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Settings and ensure that 'No proxy' is selected (unless of course, unusually, you normally connect via a proxy). Click 'OK' twice.

Then check that your desktop is actually connected to your router. (i.e. either that the ethernet cable is plugged in or that there's a wireless connection).

Next, reset the TCP/IP stack:

Sorry Buenchico, forgot to mention that it said proxy setting, but done what you said and FF is working, but still have problem with Google Chrome saying ' No Proxy server.

This might help but I don't use Chrome because I simply can't get on with it:
