Hi Lynn - You might want to check this if it applies, courtesy of MVP Tom
Porterfield in a private communication:

"McAfee, false positive and Internet connectivity

http://news.com.com/McAfee%27s+Trojan+error+ires+developer/2100-7350_3-5361660.html?part=rss&tag=5361660&subj=news.7350.20

If you see folks having problems connecting to the internet and they use
McAfee, the problem
could be that McAfee improperly identified an ISP dialer and setup program
program (http://www.ispwizard.com) as a trojan and removed it from the
system."
