Hi guys,
I have good News and bad news:
The good News is that I almost certainly got rid of the malware with malwarebites.
The bad News is that whenever I open Internet Explorer now, it say it can't Access the site.
If I click on further Information it say that there was a time out when contacting the DNS Server.
But when I click search for the site on Bing, the bing Webpage appears, but whenever I click for example Google on there (because it searches for my starting page automatically) the bing site just refreshes.
What can I do to fix this?

Help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Julian

It sounds like either your DNS server got changed, or you need to flush the DNS cache.

Hi,
And how do I fix this now? Hopefully I don't get spammed with "reinstall you OS" again :-))).

To flush the DNS cache, you'll want to open cmd.exe as administrator. Once that's done, type : ipconfig /flushdns.

you could always reset internet explorer, assuming other browsers work fine.

Hi,
I only use IE.
@Draq: typing in the command you posted didn't help.
I also reset IE, it didn't fix the Problem.
Any other hints?

Hmm. Try the instructions in this article to make sure your DNS settings are being provided from your network.

If that doesn't work, I suspect your hosts file may have been highjacked. This article provides instructions for resetting your hosts file. It says Windows 7 in the URL, but it also works for 10.

If none of that works, I'm at a loss.
