Computery Stuff
Last night I worked on fixing my computer.
Cleared the cache & cookies. No workie.
Re-started in safe mode. Lo! I have internets! This is good.
Ran Ad-Award in safe mode. It found something malicious; I don't remember exactly what. Removed that & re-started in regular mode.
Opened Firefox & got the same message about the connection to the network being reset or whatever. (I should really write that down.)
Re-started in safe mode, again. Ran Trend Micro 2009 virus scan AND House Call.
They found...nothing.
Now, I'm stumped. The fact that I only have internet in safe mode indicates a virus, right?
At least I know it's not a hardware issue. Didn't want to have to go out and buy a new network card.
Any thoughts? Anyone know of an online scan similar to House Call I could try?
