Default internet explorer doesnt work now

I recently had rogue security malware/trojan of some type. It locked me out
of all my files and programs but i was able to eventually get it deleted. My
problem now is when i try to use internet explorer it says :

"windows cannot connect to the internet using http,https,ftp. This is
probably caused by firewall settings on this computer. Check the HTTP port
(80) , HTTPS port (443),and FTP port (21).You may need to contact your
internet service provider (ISP) or the manufacturer of your software"

I can somehow browse the internet with firefox . I disabled the firewall
restarted and got the same message again. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I also dont remember the name of the rogue malware/trojan that infected my
computer. I have scanned with super antispyware , malware bytes, and windows
malicious software removal tool. Thanks in advance.
