running windows xp on home p.c ad probs connecting to internet after lot of help from fellow colleague managed to find ip adresss for it but i dont know how to put on tried system properties but to no avail anyone out there that could help i would gr8ly appreciate many thanks anticipating many replies....

 

I don't understand what the problem is. Try restating it using whole sentences.

 

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.
