herring

The Linksys software says that the system is connected to the access point and the Internet, but when I browse using IE every site says "The page cannot be displayed."

I am able to use the LAN from either this PC or the Laptop to exchange files within the house LAN.

I got the feeling the original virus was loading other malware. I got Ad-Aware onto the laptop before it went totally down and Ad-Aware scans were turning up new malware every few minutes when the system was connected. The longer I left it alone, the more was identified by Ad-Aware. I think I only got 2 McAfee scans in (done remotely over the LAN) before I lost contact.

I haven't done any of that since I started working with you.
