    I used Hijack This and now I can't use programs to connect to the internet. I am connected using a ping, but explorer, email, another browser I tried, none will connect to the internet. Can someone please please help me.

    You somehow killed your nameserver or buggered your TCP stack.

    I completely agree with this recipe... especially after the system I just cleaned last night.

    Laptop that took 25 minutes to boot... and 30 seconds to respond to something as simple as a left click.

    HJ showed two to three spyware players and I used HJ to repair 4-6 entries as a whole. I booted to safe mode and deleted the parts that I could find.

    With the computer running much better, I downloaded and ran adaware and spybot. 20-30 files and reg changes were found and removed by each of these programs. All of these were files and reg changes that I would have missed with HJ alone.

    If I would have just used hijack to clean the system, the system would have likely reinfected itself in just a few minutes.
