How do I fix DNS_PROB_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET
Windows 7 Home Premium had lots of malware. Fixed that. Now I cannot get on the internet via a web page (Chrome or Explorer) but the wireless and wired connections both show I have internet connection. From a command prompt I can ping a site with the ip address but cannot ping with the name. DNS issue? Help.

You might have some corruption in your winsock stack, possibly malware that has been removed, but still referenced in the registry. The link below explains how to fix this. Could also be a HOSTS file problem, some Malware adds entries there to kill antimalware updates.
The only real way to be reasonably certain you have gotten rid of all traces of malware is to reinstall the OS and applications again from bare metal.
