Problems with my internet connection....? [details inside]? - 934 - 05-20-2014 11:49 AM

I think I have a virus that is affecting my internet connection on the other computer. I open the Internet Explorer but it only shows a blank page, the status bar shows 'Done' and nothing shows up. I cant understand why this is happening, I checked the settings from the Control Panel and everything seems fine.


What should I do?
