My other Laptop got infected with a fake anti-virus and malware. After I cleaned the registry twice ,used MalwareByte's Anti-Malware, and ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus. The malware was gone but I got no wireless internet connection. WinSockXP did not work. Here are my Hijack This and MalwareByte's Anti-Malware logs. Thank you for your help.📎mbam_log_2009_12_02__17_19_01_.txt
Hi,

Let's see if we can get you back connected before we have a look at the computer to see if it is really clean:

You may need to reinstall your network card drivers:


Go to Start > run, paste in the following command

devmgmt.msc

> OK

in Device manager expand the Network Adapters tree and see if there are any trouble signs (red or yellow triangle with exclamation marks)

and advise.

If there are try uninstalling and reinstalling the network drivers:

Next:

Reset your Internet connection:

Go to Start > Run, paste in ncpa.cpl in to the run box >OK

Right click on the local area connection icon and select > Repair

NEXT

reset proxies:

In I.E.
  • Check internet options settings.
  • Tools > Internet Options > Connections
  • LAN settings
  • Choose "automatically detect settings"
  • uncheck both proxy settings boxes

In FireFox
  • Click on Advanced -> Network -> Setttings…
  • the No Proxy option should be selected

Let me know how it goes.
