If I got some weird virus from
http://www.graceandbeauty.com/samples/gbSample1_sm7-5k.wmv which deleted
my original network connection and created a new connection, which now
prevents my yahoo messenger from seeing chat rooms and google earth from
connecting to the authentication server. What changes would have been
made. I could have sworn I saw the connection name change to "Connection
2". As I am on cable internet. Can I just create a new connection and
delete the old one. I have disabled the odd file that was in msconfig
and deleted he odd folder that the file was in and AVG and Ad-Aware have
not detected any odd files.
 
Why did you post a dangerous link that someone might click on, HoopleHead?

You sure do use the term HoopleHead often. How long did it take you to learn
it?
Who are you trying to impress?

Ok that was bad, I did not want it to seem like I was promoting the web
site.
 
Interesting.... That worked. Google Earth works too . but thats odd that
that will have an effect on Google Earth. Thanks for the help.

It is good learning/practice to get your system infected on purpose,
then you can learn how to fix it without "trying" things.

Bring on those infections, wont boots, BSODs and other oops and
malfunctions!

Malfunctioning computers tremble in my presence.
