Hoping someone here might be able to help. I have an IBM thinkpad that I use at home when I don't have access to the home PC since I am running linksys. Not sure what happened in the last day or so but I can't get online and there is nothing wrong with the wireless itself cause the PC is fine and the Laptop shows its picking up Linksys. When I click on my Wireless Network Connection status it shows I am connected but if I click on Support everything is gone as far as information. Basically it looks like this.

Address Type: <Unavailable>
IP Address: <Unavailable>
Subnet Mask: <Unavailable>
Default Gateway: <Unavailable>


And on top of that every minute or so an error box pops up for Internet Explorer that basically says "Internet Explore has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".

I close that and it pops up about 40-50 secs later, even though I don't have a IE window open.


Can anyone offer an opinion or help short of snapping this thing in half and getting a new laptop?

Start off you running ad-ware or Spybot on it. That's a start.

You definitely have spyare and\or a virus.
