For future reference, you can post the log to http://www.hijackthis.de/ and just post a link here to the analyzed page.

I did this for you, and the analyzed page is at:

http://www.hijackthis.de/logfiles/95eacbeec38d9e0376a53cc4717a7dbd.html

You will want to get rid of the following entries (try with HJT itself first):

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MediaGateway] C:\Program Files\MediaGateway\MediaGateway.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [New.net Startup] rundll32 C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL,ClientStartup -s

The rest looks OK, but post back if the above two get fixed and solve the problem.

Thanks.

Also, I noticed your main symptom is that you lost your Internet connection. That could be due to other reasons as well, so please describe that in more detail. For example, how are you connecting to the network, DSL, Cable, dial-up? Have you tried rebooting the computer and powering the DSL modem off and on? What exactly happens when you run a web browser? etc.

It's on a network. All the other computers are working fine. When I open a web browser it will just continuosly load forever. It doesn't go to Check net work connections or whatever. Any program that tries to update or access the internet will freeze up.

I believe internet is working but I will see in a restart or two.

Here's my new HJT log. I cleaned up the 2 and it looks like they stayed gone.

Yes, good work. The HJT log looks clean now.

New.Net or NewDotNet is a good suspect for your internet connection malfunction. It is well known to mess up your winsock chain.

NetDotNet is installed in your system, you need to remove it. But before you do that as a precaution, please download LSPFix.exe.(or WinsockFix)
When removing New.Net from your system there is a chance that you might lose your internet connection.
In the event that you lose Internet access after removing New.Net, please double-click LSPFix.exe that you downloaded earlier. You will see 2 panels. If there is any file listed in the "Remove" panel on the right-side, leave it as is and just click "Finish" then reboot your computer, this should restore your internet access.
Please download LSPFix here: http://www.cexx.org/LSPFix.exe

Now please go Start > Run > Control Panel
In the Add/Remove programs list, look for NewDotNet or New.Net and uninstall it.
If NewdotNet or New.Net is not listed in Add/Remove programs list, then please go to their site.
Scroll down to Procedure no.4 and follow the instructions in removing NewDotNet from your system.
http://www.newdotnet.com/removal.html

Also uninstall "MediaGateway" via Add/Remove programs list if its listed.

There is a really good way to fix this problem. I got NewDotNet from some installer yesterday. Luckily I had my second machine on and able to back me up.

Here's how you fix it:

1) Get SpyBot: Search and Destroy. If you have no internet connection on the infected machine, then you need to manually download the update file from the website.
2) Run it.
3) Immunize the system.
4) Do a scan and remove all malware.

The internet connection should come back promptly.
