Are you on a different computer? Your hijackthis log and malwarebytes suggested you where on Xp Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3

Thatw as ORIGINALLY posted. Then a Vista hijack log was posted after (Same page lower down)

ive done that (thanks) but still no connection to the net.
Now, on my wireless connection it says
IPv4 connectivity local
IPv6 connectivity limited
media state enabled
does this sound right?
also, there used to be a little globe in taskbar over the two computers that show internet is working, but its not showing now

Do you connect wirelessly with anything else?

If so see if that works

yes rik, x box working fine - i have plugged laptop straight into modem but still no connection even though it thinks its connected. ( shows limited connection but there is none)

Have you got the vista disc?

Id say you should put it in at bootup and run a REPAIR with it

(Ps ~ sorry about this. never expected the bittorent program to be such a hassle)

nibs

didnt get any discs with it ( bought it at pc world - groan ) but did get instruction with manual that says "this computer includes a new system recovery feature that does not require cd's" and so everything is on the hard drive,

Best bet then is probably to backup anything you need (Photos etc), then use the recovery feature
