I'm not sure how to describe this. Last night my computer contracted "Antispyware Soft", a virus posing as an antispyware program. I got rid of the program using malwarebyte. My computer was working fine last night afterwards. When I turned it on today, it took forever to boot up. When I clicked on my account, it was "loading my settings" for the longest time, then it brought me to my desktop, but there were no icons or start menu for a good ten minutes. When it finally did load, it looked as if the computer was in safe mode (which it was not). I am not able to connect to the internet. My IP address is 0.0.0.0. I don't know what to do and I am going insane! Please help!

Have a look at this.
Most likely the virus changed your IE settings to proxy server.
If no luck please post in Malware Forum, to ensure you are now virus fre.
