I have posted this on another Internet forum but I am getting no replies so I'm posting it again here. I'm sorry if this is against the rules but I will be leaving after today most likely so I really need a response as soon as possible. Please reply.

I am not a permanent member of this site but I am in desperate need of help so I came to ask a question. If no one wants to help that's fine, but I would like it if you would at least read this first before you decide not to respond.
My name is Carrie and I am 15 years-old and I was using my mom's laptop downstairs just now, and I was on the internet. The laptop is Windows VISTA, and is Dell. My mom uses it for her college work.
I was on a strange website looking up cheatcodes for videogames when a pop up appeared saying that the computer was in danger of getting a virus from this website. I panicked a little and exited the pop up and another one came up shortly after with the option of 'Halt Internet Connection' or 'Cancel'. I was afraid of getting the virus so I clicked on 'Halt Internet Connection'. After I did this, a third pop up came up saying that if I wanted to reconnect, all I had to do was go to the task bar on Internet explorer and click on 'Halt Internet Connection' again. So I searched for nearly an hour and never found that option. So, I started searching for all kinds of help on the computer help systems AND on the internet, but nothing was helping me because I wasn't able to ask specific questions like this.
My mom REALLY needs this computer for college and I feel very bad for messing up her internet, but I didn't mean to. So if anyone can help me to reconnect to the Internet I would be really grateful. Please help. Carrie, we'll need more information, I'm afraid. And it will take time to reach a solution. I'm sorry if that is a problem for you. If you need urgent help, you may be better taking the computer to a LOCAL shop.

I suspect your computer has some form of malware loaded, in which respect you might also want to post a request for assistance in the Malware forum. For now, could you please open a command prompt (Start-->Run-->Type "CMD"; click Ok). At the command prompt, type "ipconfig /all" and hit enter. Cut and paste the results here.Thank you replying. Do you want me to do all that on my mom's laptop or on this computer I'm on now?

Okay. I did it on the computer I'm on now and this is what I got:

C:\Users\The Master>No, sorry - we'll need it from the laptop.Quite possibly what you clicked on installed a virus or malware that interferes with the laptops internet connection. Try booting up the pc in safe mood and run a virus scan, then reboot and see if that fixes the problem.
