Explanation

Malware commonly modifies Internet Explorer settings, such as proxy configurations, security zones, or trusted sites, which persist even after the malware is removed. The 'Internet Options > Advanced' tab contains a 'Reset' button that restores IE to its default settings, clearing any malicious modifications to browsing behavior. System - Remote Settings manages remote desktop, Folder Options controls file/folder display, and Display Settings manages screen resolution - none of these affect browser connectivity or rendering.
