Proxy Settings Problem!
I am using my laptop to write this as my desktop says
I cant connect to internet on Google chrome or Firefox as it says can not connect.
This has happened since I did a malaware scan about an hour ago.
Any help appreciated.

In Firefox, go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Settings and ensure that 'No proxy' is selected (unless of course, unusually, you normally connect via a proxy). Click 'OK' twice.
Then check that your desktop is actually connected to your router. (i.e. either that the ethernet cable is plugged in or that there's a wireless connection).
Next, reset the TCP/IP stack:

This might help but I don't use Chrome because I simply can't get on with it:
