Try disabling all the startup items and then boot into normal mode, again. If it boots up, then it's one of the startup items that's causing the issue, and you could solve it by process of elimination and educated guesses. To disable startup items: Start > Run > msconfig > OK > Click Selective Startup > Uncheck Load Startup Items > OK > restart.

download "malwarebytes" from a good computer, and put onto CD or flash drive. run on other computer in safe mode.
if you can now boot up in normal mode, update malwarebytes and run again.

i have the computer running and can access everything on it.
I just can not get the internet and the pop up to go away. There has to be a more simplier way then to format the drive.

It looks like you still have malware / viruses on your computer. Rundll89.exe is definitely sketchy. Have you run Malwarebytes, yet?

even if u download malware bytes, u need to update it.
i recently got hit with a boot sector virus, "kryptor".
managed to recover data off the hdd, then completely hard fried the hdd to get it back up and running. by that i mean used diskpart to rid the partition completely.
had some issue with my mobo which caused a big headache trying to reinstall.
but fresh install = super fast computer!

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |
