Hello,
The computer ran fine for over a year and a half while running e-booster. Actually Vista comes with a similar flash drive temporary caching program. Anyways, It has been disabled since I had the problem.
I have to assume there was something caused by a virus, as someone was on facebook and there was some system error message that wasnt' remembered. After that at the next reboot the symptom occued. What I noticed was that AVG was not showing in the taskbar. Some of the processes for it were also not running. Windows firewall was disabled and could not be started, and my network was goofed up so I cannot access the internet to run online scans.
The router works, as I have my laptop connecting via wireless ok. I also tried a different wireless card to check for a defective usb port or wireless card.
My wireless card had no software, it was automatically found by windows.
PLease elaborate specifically on which network devices to remove. at any rate, how can network related issues affect the windows ICS?
Thank you
