Ok, so here's the deal. I have a Toshiba Satellite L455 laptop with Windows 7 that got attacked by a whole bunch of Trojans and worms and viruses.
Without having any anti-virus at the time decided that the only thing that would get rid of all this crap would be to wipe the hard drive clean (without backup) and restore to its factory "out of the box " settings. Well I went through setup and all that good stuff.
But shortly after that, it got attacked again but by one Trojan and I Immediately got rid of it with the help of Action Center in my control Panel.
I wouldn't have mind much but Now I can't access the Internet. I have wi-fi and I connected it to modem and it would say that I have successfully connected but when I open the browser(IE8) It would act as if it was not connected at all. And windows network diagnostics can't find the problem at all.:what:
I thought the wi-fi was messed up so I took an Ethernet cable and directly connected it to the modem and I would still get the same message as with the wi-fi. I know it is not the modem because this computer that I am posting with is connected to the same modem via Ethernet cable and the Internet works fine on this one.
My question is that how do i connect to the Internet so that I can download anti-virus software so that I can get rid of what is causing all of this to happen? Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance :)
