Dear igaray,
(Note: Please read through these instructions a couple of times before executing the steps in this post.)
If you haven't renewed your norton antivirus I have the following alternatives for you (i.e. note: I would not recommend renewing the norton antivirus software).
Since your norton antivirus software has expired, AVG makes an excellent free antivirus client, as do AntiVir or avast!.
I suggest you install and run one of these anitivirus software programs.
Here are the steps you should take to install your new antivirus software:1. Create a folder on your desktop and name it "Antivirus"
2. Download the .exe or .zip file to this folder but do not run the executable or zip files respectively at this time.
3. Restart your computer, without connecting to the "Internet".
4. Uninstall your old antivirus software through the "Add/Remove" programs via your Control Panel (in your case, uninstall your Norton Antivirus software).
5. Install your new antivirus software, without connecting to the "Internet".
6. Restart your computer and re-connect to the "Internet" and run your new antivirus software and fix anything it finds (i.e. in your case, if you cannot connect to the Internet through your browser, run your new antivirus software anyway and fix anything it finds).
Dear igaray, from my previous post, you could also burn/copy the "Antivirus" folder on to a CD-ROM (i.e. create a "fourth" folder) and place it on the infected computer and then if or when you get your Internet access back you could follow the instructions in this post, to install your new antivirus software on your computer.

Dear igaray,
Just a few things, I want to mention.
1. Please do not repost back to me what I post to you. I know what I want you to do, so I don't need to see it reposted back to me. This saves space and it helps me analyze your posts better. Just post the information I ask for.
2. You can use the quote funciton, but I don't want to see your entire post to me in quotes and especially if its a repost of what I sent you. You can use the quote function, if their are portions of my post you don't understand or if you want to make a point. In other words, use the quote function, sparingly.
3. I don't want to see file attachments, for example, I want to see the contents of the ewido security scan log and the HijackThis log in a post to me. I don't want these logs as file attachments.
4. Re-enable the error messages, this way I can see if the solutions that I am giving you will work.
Thank You for your cooperation.
