Yannis,

OK, no connectivity at all.

Please describe the router / WAP that you're connecting thru. Does it show
connectivity (to the internet AND to the computer)? Can you ping it
successfully?

Please provide ipconfig information for the computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
Identify operating system (by name and version) too.

HijackThis, and expert advice, is the key ingredient in spyware detection /
removal. None of the other tools can be modified often enough to keep up with
the unceasing flood of spyware variants that are plaguing us right now.

But let's work on the connectivity issue right now.

Cheers,
Chuck
