    Virus sending messages to my ISP to stop service
    Hello,

    I have a virus which is sending messages to the ISP and is clogging the system resulting in having all my computers blocked from using internet from this ISP. I tried a number of virus scanner, Anti Malware, Anti Adware, Syboot but still no result. The only thing I can find is that when I run Free AVG is gives me the following file C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts with result as changed.

    CAn this be it, I tried many things but cannot seem to solve the problem.

    Please help someone as it is driving me crazy.

    These are three online scanners -- run one at a time -- Run in SAFE MODE/NETWORKING

    This may take 1 hour or more for each to run -- if possible save report and print report

    If you have it saved to a file you can reference it if you need it -- good idea

    If none of the previous posts work you can post a HijackThis log here in text format and I can asses it in that manner.
