Let's try downloading the driver straight from Trigem and seeing if that will work. Please go HERE and get the Lan driver dated 10/10/2008). Let me know if this helps.
You will have to use the drop down menus and put in Laptop and then scroll through the bottom drop down almost to the end where you will find you model number. Then click the Search button and then scroll down the page to find the driver above.

No luck. I downloaded the driver to a disk and loaded to my laptop but still no access. I keep getting notified to download SP3 should I just ignore this?

I found a site where I can download an Averatec 5100 Data Recovery Disc for a small $$ what do you think?

Here is the link

If you already have it then ignore it.
Go to
Start and then to Run
Type in Chkdsk /r Note the space between k and /
Click Enter ...It will probably ask if you want to do this on the next reboot...click Y
If the window doesn't shutdown on its own then reboot the system manually. On reboot the system will start the chkdsk operation
This one will take longer then chkdsk /f

Note... there are 5 stages...
It may appear to hang at a certain percent for a hour or more or even back up and go over the same area...this is normal...
DO NOT SHUT YOUR COMPUTER DOWN WHILE CHKDSK IS RUNNING OR YOU CAN HAVE SEVERE PROBLEMS
This can take several hours to complete.
When completed it will boot the system back into windows.

Let me know if this fixes the problem

[rshaffer61]

Have you tried unplugging the wireless router for a few minutes and see if it resets itself?

[Jeffrey_RedSox2007]

Yes more times than I care to count.

[Jeffrey_RedSox2007]

Okay chkdsk /r is running. I will get back to you when it completes.

[Jeffrey_RedSox2007]

chkdsk /r complete button still not working.

[rshaffer61]

OK go to Start then to Run
Type in cmd and click Enter
In new window type the following commands and make sure to click Enter after each one.
ipconfig
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit

Let me know after this if internet now starts. You may want to restart the system before and then try internet.

Still no internet. Still no light on wireless button.

[rshaffer61]

Sounds like a failed wireless adapter then. May not be related to the malware removal but just happened at the same time.

[Jeffrey_RedSox2007]

Okay what does that mean? Is this something that can be fixed?

[rshaffer61]

Well it depends because most wireless adapters I know of are just plugged into the lan connector on the back of the system. The only exception is if it is a add on card with wireless capability and then you would have to replace the whole card.
Being you have a laptop then is there something that looks like a antenna sticking out of your system somewhere? If so that is the wireless adapter. Does it plug into a connection like a large phone line? If so unplug it from the system and then wait 5 minutes. plug it back in and see if it will work then.

[Jeffrey_RedSox2007]

No there is no antenna on the back. Would it be worth my while to take it to someplace like MicroCenter to have them check it to see if it really is gone?

[rshaffer61]

Yep because if it is built in then we may have to look at some other way like a USB wireless connector if even possible to do.
Let me ask somewhere on the laptop is there a connection that looks like a large phone jack?

[Jeffrey_RedSox2007]

Yes there is. Plus I opened one of the covers on the back and I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 LAN 3B MiniPCI adapter.
