You used spybot and now my internet connection won't work?

Answer 1

Spybot might not have caused the problem, however if it did, it probably blocked your connection through the Spybot-SD Resident. What you should do if this is the case is look for the icon on your taskbar that is labeled 'Spybot-SD Resident' and right click on it. Then click on 'Settings'. Look through any listed items in the widow that will pop up. If you see anything that talks about your internet connection, Internet Explorer, or 'Wireless Zero Configuration' (if you're connected or trying to connect wirelessly), you could disable it by clicking on the 'X' on the right of the item and this could return your internet connection. However if something is blocking Firefox do not unblock this as it could damage your system or allow in spyware. Note: you should be careful to unblock any items listed, if you unblock them, you could damage your system or allow spyware to enter you system, so only unblock items you know the function of. If this doesn't work, or if you find no items listed in that window (or if you don't have the Spybot Resident installed for some reason) there is one other thing you can try. This only works for wireless connections however. Click on the 'Start' button on your task bar. Click on 'Run'. Type in 'services.msc' (without quotes of course) and hit enter. A window will open; scroll down until you find the item called 'Wireless Zero Configuration', and click on it. Then look in the left-hand bar under 'Computer Browser'. If you see a link that says 'Start', click on it and wait until a progress bar appears and then disappears, then exit the windows and try to start your internet connection. If these things all fail, or you are unsure about something, try to get help from a professional.
