Hi!!
I hope someone can help
Recently my laptop was infected with numerous Viruses, Trojans and whatnot. It is now clean. But I have not been able to use my wireless connection. When I boot up it shows that there is are wireless connections available. When I click on the balloon it shows no wireless networks in range. Tried winsock reset - no change. Tried LSP-Fix - no problems found. Tried reset TCP/IP - no change. Modem and router are fine - running other laptops on it. Also when trying to Access System Restore -
“System Restore has been turned off by group policy. Contact your domain Administrator.” It's driving me crazy!!! Please any suggestions?
Running Windows XP Pro w/SP3

OK After searching your forums I was able to fix the system restore problem - thanks for that. But still having issues with the wireless. I give up. I'm just going to get a long ethernet cable
