Unstable Wireless network

[cag]

Hi

When using my laptop, Wi-Fi stops working very often.

The computer is malware free. Please refer to the topic here: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=59728

I have also done a "sfc /scannow". It tells me it "found damaged files but could not repair some of them" and creates a huge log. The log is attached to this post: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?s...st&p=298778

Is there anything I can do to fix the problem(s)?

Hi caq -

I just had a quick look at your other postings but I will go back and recheck for a few mins -

Have you contacted your Internet Service Provider to first check service to you ??

Trojan Artemis! (McAfee False Postivie) 7 FC 3 CB 741153 detected on D:\SETUP.ICD

Many sites report your Trojan.Artemis as a False identification by McAffee mainly

Another thought that comes to mind, check your drivers for your wireless card and make sure they are up to date. Check your wireless router for the latest firmware.

Hi

Thanks for the quick replies.

I have not asked my ISP or thought about checking the router because the wireless network works fine with the other laptops in the family. This is what I have done after your posts:

-verified that the drivers for the card is the most up to date possible. The driver update wizard told me that the latest drivers are already installed (online check).

-uninstalled Nokia PC Suite but I don't believe it will solve the problem.

I will try to reset Internet Explorer and restart/check my router tomorrow.

Any other suggestions to troubleshoot are most welcome.

Hi -

As above with Firefox , but also check your Video card updates and connections -

Just for 2 days uninstall any McAfee programs or use another Antivirus -

See if you still do get any mention of that 'infection' from any other program -

Hi.

Wireless networking is now working normally. All I have done is uninstall the Nokia software.

McAfee has been silent for a while now. It was probably false identifications.

Is there anything I can do to fix the problem(s) reported by sfc?

Thanks.

Hi again -

The SFC log was a bit corrupted as I attempted to download it -

Do you have the install disks that came with your computer -

There may be a way of doing another sfc /scannow with the disc installed , this can repair many of the faults that exist -

Thank You -

Hi

I'm sorry about the delay.

I probably have the OEM-cd (Dell) that was delivered with the system (the laptop has got a recovery partition). How do I perform the alternate sfc scan?

Thanks.
