Windows Vista Home 32bit

Attempted downloaded AVG v9

lost ability to connect to internet through lan
- checked lan setting: all automatic
- checked internet options: all automatic
- uninstalled network device, reboot, reinstall: no change
- downloaded network device driver installed: no change
- installed a USB to Lan adapter: same result - no connection
- uninstalled AVG 8.5
- reset Winsock: no change
- installed Microsoft Security Essentials - couldn't scan because it wasn't updated
- installed Malwarebytes, scanned & removed multiple infections
still no internet connection


error on the lan device:
The network adapter “Broadcom 440x 10/100 integrated controller” is experiencing driver or hardware related issues.


any suggestions accepted

1137814 2010-09-17 00:55:00 Where did the drivers for the NIC come from?? CD or from the site? It sounds like its either knackered, or the drivers are stuffed / corrupt. What was it infected with?? Did you disable system restore first? Speedy Gonzales (78)

from the site

It sounds like its either knackered, or the drivers are stuffed / corrupt.
I would agree with this other than the fact that I tried an usb to lan connection & got the same results/error

What was it infected with??
Did you disable system restore first? Yes

1137816 2010-09-17 01:28:00 Use trojan remover (somehow), get the update from the site, then scan. Then select all options under utilities menu. See what happens. Boot into safe mode / networking. See if that works / gets it on the net Speedy Gonzales (78)
1137817 2010-09-17 01:29:00 roger NZHawk (4093)
1137818 2010-09-17 01:40:00 thank you will do NZHawk (4093)
1137819 2010-09-17 01:41:00 I wonder if it's a firewall or Norton Security issue (if installed)... kahawai chaser (3545)
1137820 2010-09-17 01:52:00 Trojan Remover didn't change anything.
There are remnants of ZoneAlarm & ZoneAlarm Spyblocker Toolbar.
I have uninstalled ZoneAlarm

1137821 2010-09-17 01:59:00 looks live ZoneAlarm was the culprit.
Thank you
