I would have fixed that issue for you. They don't know what they are doing whereever you took it.
First of all if can you access sites by IP?
If you can, then it's DNS. Your DNS must be hijacked by malware. Can you access the sites in safe mode with networking. Have you reset all your IE settings to defaults and have you tried a winsock fix? I would run dial-a-fix with all options enabled, I would run smitfraudfix and combofix and if that doesn't fix it last but no least I would reinstall the nework card drivers.
Also to prevent this from happenign again, you should be installing your security software as soon as you load the OS.
Also tools like hijackthis can tell you if you have dns redirect malware. But really the tools that I mentioned above should get you going if not reinstalling the network card driver should. Smitfraudfix checks and cleans your host and lmhost file if it has been altered. Dial-A-Fix fixes windows updates issues, windows installer issues, issues where important windows files are not properly registered, it also does a winsock fix. But you have to click the little hammer to go to the tools menu where you can reset all network settings as well.
But is this the first time it happened? Where you using the same firmware before? That's kind of messed up how a modem can be infected with malware? It's a good call to update the firmware but still, I would probably ask my ISP for a different modem if that's the case. Also maybe all you really needed to do was reset your modem/router settings to defaults and reconfigure anything you need to configure.

u ever try hijack this? it is really good and they will help u untill your problem is fixed. You usually need a valid copy of windows though or just make sure the name of it isnt the name of a pirated version of windows in the logs u send them.

Don't you just wish people would read the thread before running off at the mouth (or in this case keyboard).
