Sorry, the message should read:
Running Windows XP, had some trouble with Viruses which i'm hoping is now sorted. One problem though, I cannot get internet access.
I have rebooted my modem (which seems to be working fine as my wife's laptop has internet). I had PC Guard (blueyonder) which was causing problems, so i uninstalled it. Since then, I have not got internet. I have tried to reinstall PC Guard but it cannot find a server and will not install.
I have just installed Panda Antivirus, Ad-Aware and Spybot (this won't work, as the computer is saying it is not installed)
I have also been checking my Task Manager, and on startup I have been getting 100% CPU. This seems to be due to: smvalid.exe, which I delete and my CPU drops to 3%-4%. Everytime i restart, smvalid.exe is back.
Please can someone help. If you need any more information please let me know.
