Hi Guys,

Need your help badly to solve this problem. It seems that my browsers have been hijacked.

it keeps getting stuck at the "waiting for www.google.com" message. I have tried different browsers but to no avail. its the same problem with firefox, ie and chrome.

1) i have scanned my system with avira and avast. (avira keeps reporting a prompt about pavleko.abki and crypt.x worms). have cleaned whatever i got
2) scanned my system with malwarebytes and SUPERantispyware but no results.
3) Hijackthis also has a normal log.

The same net connection works perfectly well on my friends laptop.

the problem is only with browsers. I am able to still download without any problems.

Please help.!! I am not able to fix this at all,...

Try disabling the windows firewall or any 3rd party forewall if you have any.

I don't know what to with it but try restoring your computer to oldest restore session in case it doesn't works and if you can afford just make a complete format just do it (its one of the last options)and don't be angry for my stupid advice
