Solve : Lost WiFi Since Infection?

Answer»

Sorry, I've been under the weather the last few days and I missed your response. Let's try a couple of things. First, try booting your computer in Safe Mode with Networking and see if you can connect. Next, try these two and see if they fix the problem.

Please download and run MS Fix-it from here.
******************************************
To Run the SFC /SCANNOW Command in Windows 7
1. Open an elevated command prompt.

2. To Scan and Repair System Files
NOTE: Scans the integrity of all protected system files and repairs the system files if needed.
A) In the elevated command prompt, type sfc /scannow and press Enter. (see screenshot below)
NOTE: This may take some time to finish.



B) Go to step 4.

3. To Only Verify if the System Files are Corrupted
NOTE: Scans and only verifies the integrity of all proteced system files only.
A) In the elevated command prompt, type sfc /verifyonly and press Enter.

4. When the scan is COMPLETE, hopefully you will see all is ok like the screenshot below.
NOTE: If not, then you can attempt to run a System Restore using a restore POINT dated before the bad file occured to fix it. You may need to repeat doing a System Restore until you find a older restore point that may work.



5. When DONE, close the elevated command prompt.I hope you are feeling better SD. I have tried to copy and paste the log and also attach the log but it said it was too large.
It did find a corrupted file. I did a restore point BACK one MONTH and the Wifi started working again ! That's good right..? LOLL!
Let me know if there is anything else I should do. As always THANKS ! ! ! ! !

You're welcome. You can run diskcleanup and we're finished.

Click Start> Computer> right click the C Drive and choose Properties> enter
Click Disk Cleanup from there.



Click OK on the Disk Cleanup Screen.
Click Yes on the Confirmation screen.



This runs the Disk Cleanup utility along with other selections if you have chosen any. (if you had a lot System Restore points, you will see a significant change in the free space in C drive)
