Windows isn't detecting available wireless networks

[thanakar]

Recently I cleaned off a nasty virus from my laptop using a combination of ultimate boot cd with avira, hijack this and malware bytes. Ever since getting rid of the virus windows networking services no longer detects available wireless networks. The preferred networks list is always empty and if I try to add a new one it doesn't save the information. The wireless card IS on and I've stopped and restarted all pertinent services pertaining to the wireless. I have also updated the wireless card drivers. I know the wireless networks are out there because the toshibas configfree program detects them (but won't let me connect to them). I have had no conflicts in the past with the toshiba and microsoft products together. The only thing I have not done is uninstall and reinstall the Windows Networking Service.

Based on some other threads in this forum here is some additional information:
