I notice that you have lower memory usage post-run. Did your problem clear up?

I suggest posting those results to BleepingComputer's forums; you'll certainly be able to find help there from people familiar with ComboFix.

Then just paste the URL into the address bar. You said that works, right?

Or try booting into safe mode with networking support, and see if the problem persists there.

Where did you change your DNS settings? On your computer or your router?

Also, are you sure that did it, and that it wasn't combofix removing... something?

From what I know, Combofix can do a few things, which is why I suggested posting on their forums for advice.

At any rate, what were the DNS settings on your computer before you changed them? Do you remember? They should have just been set to point to your router via "obtain DNS address automatically". Was some other address listed instead?

Ideally, you probably want to specify DNS server on the router, and then leave your computer's TCP/IP settings to detect DNS settings automatically.
