Need serious help... anyone please
I've moved back to college and been here for 2 weeks. My internet has ran smoothly and very efficiently. The 2 main things I use my computer for anyway is MSN Messenger and the internet. Well, last night my computer rebooted and for some reason my anti-virus was turned off and I think some stuff got onto my computer. So I turned it back on, ran the virus scan, and nothing showed up. I then ran my spyware and saw that there was over 500 items so I quickly removed those. Then I discovered that my internet wouldn't open my homepage and my MSN wouldn't log me on. Needless to say, my local area connection in the bottom right corner showed I was connect and running at full speed. So I turned the computer off and rebooted one more time and the systme shutdown associated with the sasser worm popped up, so I stopped it and tried to remove the worm. I rebooted one more time and ran various worm removal tools which told me I had no such thing in my system. I ran virus scan and there were no viruses. I ran the spyware/adware scans and there are none of those... but regardless I still can't log onto the internet and my MSN Messenger won't log on. I know this isn't an extreme emergency but it's something I need fixed for school purposes. The more quick the better. I'm thinking there may have been something that automatically shut down that I don't know about and have no clue how to reset. Any help is appreciated as this is driving me nuts having to use my rommy's laptop. Anyone please?
