I can't get on the internet after quarantining infected malware files using Malwarebytes. How can I get rid of virus/malware without it disabling my internet access?

Steps Taken:
I ran McAfee, which didn't detect anything. I ran Malwarebytes - which found 35 infected files. When I quarantined the infected files, the internet access could not be connected - (it showed up as connected on the toolbar, but when you tried to do anything it said no internet access - regardless of which program used (mozilla or IE). I un-quarantined the infected files and got internet access back.
 
Ok, let's continue:


Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.


  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
 
Download attached fixlist.txt on the same location as FRST (otherwise the fix won't work)

Open FRST, and click Fix. Attach me that report after it is finished.

Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.

Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
  • Click on the Scan button.
  • After the scan has finished click on the Clean button.

Press OK when asked to close all programs and follow the onscreen prompts.
Press OK again to allow AdwCleaner to restart the computer and complete the removal process.

  • After rebooting, a logfile report (AdwCleaner[S0].txt) will open automatically.
  • Post logfile will also be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder.

Very good :)


For future protection I can recommend you:
- Adblock --> https://adblockplus.org/en/chrome
- Unchecky --> http://unchecky.com/



The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;

Remove disinfection tools

Create registry backup

Purge System Restore

Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.
 
Sorry to bother you again, but after all the things we did yesterday a large number of the Windows 8 programs cannot be opened. The Malwarebytes found more malware, and after quarantining them, I can connect to the internet, but it takes over 5 minutes to load a page. Any advice?
 
Download attached fixlist.txt on the same location as FRST (otherwise the fix won't work)
