Dang it, as careful as I am, I got with the Security Suite spyware bug. I followed the advice here: http://www.myantispy...ninstall-guide/ and it appears the spyware is gone but I can't get on the net. This one system on my network won't connect and I can't get passed it. But, I also can't access anything on my network but other system s on the network are fine. This one system has the standard red x on the network icon and all the standard tricks aren't working. I could see not accessing the internet but not the network. It's not a hardware problem as it was working fine up to the bug.
If it is proxy related, everything I've tried hasn't worked. Other scans show no spyware (do you ever know for sure) and I wanted to try to get this working before I went to a recent disc image.
Also, restore didn't work either.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I very much appreciate the detailed help you provided. However, after way too many hours of tempting fate, I decided to use my 3 week old image and restored my drive. Things are well now.
You do a great job helping many here and I'm sorry to have taken up your time.
