Issue with Microsoft Edge

user_avatar WestS10

I downloaded and ran AdwCleaner on my wife's computer after some suspicious activity to rule out an infection. All it found was: 'Key Found : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\DOMStorage\d23716qn9q7omq.cloudfront.net' 'Key Found : HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\DOMStorage\dotomi.com'

I had it remove those keys, now when launching Edge it will not load any pages. Typing in a URL only gives a "can't reach this page" error for every URL. IE and Chrome work fine. Not sure if this is because of the scan or the infection, any thoughts?

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Hello,

Can you share the deletion report too ?

It's in C:\AdwCleaner\C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner[Cxxxx].txt.

Also, can you generate a ZHPDiag logreport to get more informations on your system ?

  • Download ZHPDiag from Nicolas on his website
  • Then run it with administrator's rights (with right click)
  • Then upload the log file on up2share (you will find it on your desktop, just drop the file on the upload zone)
  • Then post the link in your reply

Best regards,

 

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

I have 3 files, I did a scan using a generic accunt as well as the other account on the PC. Hopefully these links will work.

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Thanks.

It's strange.. After running AdwCleaner and losing the network connection with Edge, can you do the following :

  • Start powershell
  • Enter the following command : 
    ipconfig /all > "C:\Users\hocky_000\ipconfig.txt"

     

A file "ipconfig.txt" will be created on your personal folder, please copy/paste its content here.

Best regards,

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

I agree, not sure why this is only affecting edge. Internet Explorer and Chrome still work fine. I have a generic admin account on the PC that has the same issue and I am able to send you this via IE. Since I dont use this computer I dont know if this has been an issue prior to the suspicious activity ofr if it is new.

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Hello,

If you enter the url "http://5.196.175.179/" in Edge, do you succeed to get the "Index Of" page ?

If no, did you clean all Edge browsing and settings from the menu, and relaunch it ?

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Sorry I mentioned Chrome but that is not installed on this computer, just IE.

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Hello,

Can you try de-quarantine both keys that were deleted by AdwCleaner? ( Run it, click on "Tools" -> "Quarantine" )

Does that solve your problem ?

Regards,

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Ok, ran the de-quarantune but no change.

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Can you tell us what's the results with this ?

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Same thing, nothing loads. I get this message with all web pages: Hmm, we can't reach this page. Try this •Make sure you’ve got the right web address: https://toolslib.net •Refresh the page •Search for what you want

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

I did try and enter http://5.196.175.179/ into edge and I do get index of and I can drill into those indexes.

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Hello,

So, it's a DNS issue.. It's strange that only Edge is impacted.

We'll remove the cached files from Edge, and then reset the network configuration if needed :

  1. Launch Edge,
  2. Click on the top-right "..." to show the menu.
  3. Settings
  4. Delete navigation data - choose the elements to remove
  5. Check all, except "Passwords"
  6. Delete

Quit Edge, restart it : does it work ?

If you still get the same issue :

  1. Launch the Windows "start" menu,
  2. type and click on "Command Prompt" (be sure to launch it as Administrator)
  3. ipconfig /flushdns

If you still face the issue :

  1. On the same command prompt than above, enter netsh int ip reset
  2. Then, netsh int ipv6 reset
  3. And finally netsh winsock reset
  4. Reboot your computer

Is it better ?

Best regards,

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Still doesnt work.

Re: Issue with Microsoft Edge

Hello,

Can you download and execute https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/205-winsockanalyzer/

You'll get a logfile beginning by "Winsock" in C:\, please share it here (by copy/pasting it or by hosting it on U2S and sharing the generated link here).

Best regards,
