Hello, I just got rid of some infected files with Spybot. I am typing this from a different computer (we have 3 in the house). Just FYI, I use a Wireless broadband internet. Anyway, after deleting all the files with spybot the internet did something really strange...

The wireless signal is working because it detects a strong signal and our laptop which also uses the wireless has a working internet so its something wrong with the computer. When trying www.google.com, it starts out as 'Page cannot be displayed' but if I keep clicking Refresh it works. However, when I search for something, like Amazon then try to click on any result, 'Page cannot be displayed' comes up and this time even if I mass-click refresh it doesnt work. So the internet is like 'half-working.' Please help! Thanks.

I had a similar problem - wireless adapter connected at virtually full strength and no connection. I solved if (after many hours) by uninstalling the software on the wireless computers and reinstalling.

I don't know why it worked but it did - on two computers.
