    I have been Spyware free for a few years now, but something has got me really good all of a sudden. The biggest problem is that all my devices have disappeared from Device Manager and the only way I can now access the Internet is through a direct ethernet connection (while nothing at all shows up in network connections or device manager).

    I have followed the instructions in the stickies and have run ALL the recommended software, but all the software no longer comes up with anything. And I am still experiencing the problem.

    Please help me.

    Well, I did try one more piece of software, the Webroot Spysweeper. I paid the 30 bucks for the fully functional version and I must say it was money well spent. It found the rootkit with about 740 tracers that none of the other 10-15 spyware detection programs could find.

    Big thumbs up for Spysweeper.

    No I am not anymore. Spysweeper found a rootkit when I ran it last night after purchasing it. It's the only piece of software that detected it.

    Okay! Others will be getting on board soon to sort out rootkit problems. There is also a tool called Blacklight by F-Secure that will find some rootkits too.
