See if you can resolve addresses (DNS issue) by going to a command prompt and pinging somebody like yahoo.com - if it displays the IP address, your DNS is OK. After that, run a tool that catches Trojans better than most AV programs, like Malwarebytes.
We have Trend Micro and we are clean... Our DNS works we can ping Yahoo however the Yahoo programs will not connect for whatever reason. Yahoo won't load the browser or YM. Neither will IE or Firefox or Chrome....
Only AOL will connect through...
