Hi all,

My Windows 8 Consumer Preview had been working good since I have installed. Today I run a virus scan with Ad-Aware, I disconnnect to internet. Also, I get this error message: "The remote device or resource won't accept the connection. Detected"

Troubleshooting shows that the internet is connected, but I cannot access my router or the internet at all via any browser; IE 10 Safari, Chrome or Firefox.

Any ideas?

First, Uninstall AdAware right away. It has gotten bad in recent years.

Are you using Avast AV Security Suite v7 by any chance? This suite has a known issue. It actually believes some of the Windows system files need to be quarantined.

If so uninstall Avast as well.

In either case, you might have to do a System Restore or a Refresh to restore the system files.

To do a System Restore from a Restore Point:
Select My Computer

Highlight C Drive and in Taskbar select System Properties

To left select System Protection

In the System Restore section select the System Restore Button and follow the prompts
