    Hello,

    I don't know if it is a virus or spyware but when i click refresh wireless network list to see wireless connections,nothing shows up( It doesn't even says searching for wireless networks). Trying to repair the connection is useless.

    Switching to wired connection does nothing at all, as if I have never put an ethernet cable

    Internet is perfectly working on other computers at my house and so is wireless

    I tried a full scan with Kaspersky and it found some Trojans and repaired them but still the problem exists. I tried system restore in safe mode and normal mode but it fails to restore to an earlier point

    I also tried to close Kaspersky because maybe it was blocking connection but still the problem exists. I also tried closing and opening wireless through Fn+F5 but still no effect

    System restore always fails for some reason.

    Sometimes the computer just stops at "Windows is shutting down" and never stops and sometimes it doesn't recognize USB devices. I don't know if this is relevant but i just mentioned it

    Attached to the topic are 2 Hijack this logs, one from normal mode and the other from safe mode

    Thanks :D

    Hi there and welcome. To see if malware is indeed the cause of any problems you are experiencing you would need to follow through the below malware removal procedures, noting down anything that doesn't run and any error messages you may recieve, and continuing on with as much of it as you can.

    A hijackthis log is not sufficient information for me to determine the presence of malware on your machine.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

    Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
