Wireless HELP!!

[1BAD06]

My computer has been acting really fucked up for a few days now. Ill be browsing on wireless normally and then ill here the "THUD" .wav. (The soundbyte it makes when you click outside a normal window.) Then all of a sudden it wont load any pages, it wont browse or anything. Its like its been disconnected. However my icon still shows my wireless is STILL connected and at a good rate. So I click repair the device and it disconnects and reconnects. I do this several times. Still wont load pages like im offline. Wont load AIM, wont load anything that connects to the internet. I checked my drivers, the device, connections. All are fine. I found that I have to restart my computer and it works fine, connects right away. The average time I browse is like 2 hours before it does that disconnect crap. Anyone know what this could be? Please help. btw, it wont load either browser Firefox and IE, or AIM, or any program connected to the internet. Thanks.

That is not a wireless issue, you have some sort of virus or trojan.

What should I do? My anti-virus hasnt picked anything up. I have HijackThis! Should i post up my log if you think you can figure it out?

Post the log and get SpyBot S&D and run that too. I run three different Spyware checkers because no one program gets them all. I am not sure it is spyware issue but I will know more after I see the log. I had a similar problem and just deleted the wireless adapter from Device Manager rebooted let it re-install and then all was well. Wait for that until you post the log and make sure you have the latest drivers as well.

Did you run spybot yet? Also go to the Dell site and get the latest drivers for your wireless.

[usmcluke]

Ive been reading up on this Smitfraud-C.Toolbar888 and it seems like its a hard thing to get rid of, I hope thats not the case here. :(
