Ok, I need help please....here's the rundown. I have a laptop running vista. I became infected with "windows security suite" that I have found out is a spyware/virus. It bogged my computer down really bad, internet explorer and all the other functions would try and run, then just lock up and stopped responding. I tried to download malwarebytes which i read was designed to get rid of windows security suiite but it would lock up half way through its scan. I had tons of pictures on the computer I did not want to lose so, in an effort to not lose them, I did a system resore to about a week ago when I was confident the virus wasn't there.
It worked perfectly, I was able to access my pictures and get them off my computer. The problem is I can't connect to the internet now. I use a wireless router. I tried plugged the cable directly into my laptop and followed all the self diagnostics but still nothing....anybody have any ideas.....I'm drowning....please help
