No Network Adaptors Found?

[jonesman9]

Hi People

 

I hope this is posted in the correct section !! :)

ok try n be brief but give u as much info as possible

 

Running Windows XP SP3 , Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo P ( quite old now )

 

I had a bad virus and superantispyware deleted it , ever since i cannot connect to the internet and my pc states No Network Adaptors found ?

 

Now i have looked extensively on the net and have done the following:

 

There are no ! markes next to the adaptors in device manager , i seem to have sorted that and i have tried a fix.reg that somebody gave me.

I have also done sfc/scannow and it tells me that some files have been replaced with unrecognisable files?? and it needs the original files to work?

 

It promps me to place my XP disk in the drive but i lost it ages ago.....doh!!!

 

My Pc seems fine , just no access to interent ( im on my lads laptop now )

 

Any help MASSIVELY appreciated

 

Thanks people

Well if you can physically 'see' the devices in device manager then thats a start.

 

If you goto start and then network where it shows you the network adapters are they enabled or disabled?

 

When you look in device manager and double click on one of the adapters it will tell you if the devices are ok or not running usually followed by an error code.

 

Do you have any drivers that came with the PC incase we need you to reinstall them?

I think there is a high probability that you may still be suffering the fallout from the infection and your fixes. From what I've heard some forms of malware can cause problems with internet connections.

 

It might be a good idea to copy and paste your first post in the malware removal section and sort out any issues relating to malware before going further with this thread. After all we don't know the nature of the infection and where there is one infection there is often times more.

 

Is that OK with you Dalo? I'm just considering all possibilities. Other than that I'll leave it up to you people to decide.
