    I had to restore the computer
    Using system restore?
    If so, that's not good, because some infection may be back.

    Yes system restore...but i had made a restore point that day (after the WOT) and that's the time i used. It was about an hour difference between the two points, but i just needed the old IE so i could use the internet.
