I see you suspect malware on your computer and have posted in the Virus Spyware and Malware removal forum for help:
http://forums.whatth...howtopic=116978
Until the good folks over in the Virus Spyware and Malware removal forum. either pass you back here or say your machine is clean, we are unable to make any recommendations here on this Tech forum as this might make the malware fighters job even more difficult than it is already.
Post back here in this topic when you are declared clear of infection or are otherwise "handed back" to us.

Since the IP address you are getting is 169. that means you are not getting an IP address. That is the default assigned when DHCP is not providing you with one.
Try deleting you wireless device in Device Manager.
- Open Control Panel
- Open System
- Click on the Hardware tab
- Click on Device Manager
- Expand Network Adapters
- Right click on your wireless device and select Uninstall
- Reboot

Thanks Rich, yes it was moved from Virus Spyware and malware removal...so please continue, with your usual valuable assistance.Paws, when I looked at the link you posted I got the General Hardware forum, not the Malware forum
I will post a follow up link in "General Hardware" directing to this topic here.

My guess would be a corrupted Winsock. If so then it could happen again if you install a program that corrupts it again. Had you installed or removed anything around the time the problem occurred?
