Windows Vista - naughty network connection

I seem to have developed a network of rogue connection in Vista.  When I opened the center of network & sharing, I was informed that I have several networks, there are two available on this screen networks - which show the same sky router (which is the only link that I have and it is set for my Windows PC).  However, one is my original and connection existing, listed as 'Home', and it is a private network.  The other is listed as 'Unidentified' and rises as Public.  It will let me delete this connection as it is said that it is currently in use and of course, if I disable the adapter of the sky, or connections are visible and also cannot be deleted.

I noticed that when I start the PC, it now takes a long time to start - the rest black screens in place for several minutes before the welcome login screen.  Also, I have AVG running and the original sky network has been implemented in the small office or home network and that by default to connect to, however, now, when it starts, AVG reports that it is directly connected "to the Internet" and uses the "unidentified network".  I can't cut it, and if I try to "Connect to a different network", it tells me that there are no available networks.
I really worry that I may have some virus that takes over my network connections.  I now physically disconnected from the PC to the router for security.
If anyone can help me with this question, I would be very grateful.  I did a scan of Malware detected nothing, but I don't know that these things are not infalible.
Any help gratefully received.
Thank you

Hello

Thanks for your reply and my apologies for the delay.  I think I have solved this problem and fortunately, I don't think it was the associated virus.  I had made some changes to the configuration of the network connection (changing to "make a new ip address every time" to 'use static ip address' and I think that might have caused the problem.)  I did a system restore to a time before these changes, and my problem disappeared completely.
Thanks again for your help.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 Windows Vista - limited network connectivity - nointernet

    Hello

    I am facing problem with my Dell Inspiron laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium32bit.

    Everything worked well, recently, I deleted a malware windows security databases, after that the display of the network connection is still limited to connectivity, for all types of connections, Ethernet, WiFi, etc. USB tethering. There is no problem with the router. I have hv checked with many links to work.

    I tried following:
    Uninstalling the essential security program
    Turn off turn on network interface.
    netsh Winsock reset & other commands.
    Uninstalling the network drivers.
    remove entries of regedit Winsock.
    Reinstall the drivers.
    SFC /scannon running
    Try the windows diagnostic tool
    Disabling ipv6.

    But after all this the problem persists. In the analysis of sfc logs, CBS.log it displays some error messages such as impossible repair Winsock-core. Looks like the Winsock is corrupt. I tried to uninstall the drivers, removal of winscock entered into regedit and then adding them. Nothing helps. I can't find the Winsock drivers for download.

    Can you please help me how I can fix it. Please note that no internet connection established is working with the system. That's why I need to copy all of the files required through memory external strorage.

    Thank you very much

    Yes, I did the re-installation of Windows Vista using the CD of the OS that came with the computer installed & portable device using the driver CD drivers. Now the network connectivity works great!

    Although I backed up my data it is not necessary that the relocation is not format my drive. He copied old 'windows folder to a windows old folder names"and then all the remaining files, we kept intact.

  • New just installed Windows Vista, unable to connect to wireless networks

    So a few months ago my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6) fell from my bed and the hard drive was messed up, so I'm a computer geek friend to replace my hard drive and put a new operating system on it, he had no activation key. In any case, after I came back it was working fine and I was able to use the internet by connecting to public networks, but every time I would connect to my computer it asked me to activate it. And finally I got so bored with being bugged that I decided to buy a new product key, so that he'd stop bugging me. So I bought a new Windows Vista Home premium operating system and when I received it in the mail, I installed correctly and put in the product key and active it and all that much good but whenever I try to connect to the internet that it says "Windows cannot find wireless networks" and when I click on "Diagnose this problem" he says "this computer does not have an install_ adapter of» configured wireless network. and then it gives me options troubleshooting that brings me at all because most of them consist in some way to update my drivers online, but I can't online my laptop to update! and all the other solutions are just confused. Is there a reason why my "driver" would stop working AFTER you install Windows Vista? Or is there some way I can uninstall the operating system and just use the one I had before? Help please!

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    The computer you are using now if you have an Internet connection with the other > download / save drivers > copy them into Flash Drive > transfer / install on another computer/laptop.

  • Windows Vista - unidentified network Local Access only tried everything please help

    Hello

    I have an Acer Aspire M1610 running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 and 2 days ago when I turned it on the internet was not working and it says unidentified network Local access only. I use a wired Ethernet connection. I don't know how it happened as before I had used the computer as usual and the Internet worked very well. I did a lot of research and read a few forum posts about this problem and tried a few solutions but non of them worked. I tried the following:
    (1) disable my firewall and anti-virus who didn't work, I turned their back on immediately.

    2) press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run a command as administrator prompt.  Allow the elevation.

    Type route delete 0.0.0.0 press ENTER.

    Type ipconfig/flushdns press enter

    Restart your computer.

    (3) the internet protocol version 6 clear, disable and enable the thing

    (4) if same Norton software removal tool I had uninstalled the when I got the computer I read that uninstall it by using uninstall windows is not entirely remove it.

    (5) another thing in the command prompt I don't remember exactly what it was, and I can't find the site Web is because I looked so much of.

    (6) I even reset my computer to factory settings and then uninstalled all unnecessary software and trials that come with and used the software again Norton removal tool.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? Any response will be greatly appreciated.

  • Windows Vista, the network latency got bad

    Yesterday, I changed the network router on my Windows Vista (edition Home premium) and this led me to run some of the internet speed test sites.  I see high network latency on the network speed available test sites.  The download speed is very good, but my network on my Windows Vista system latency time increased from 19 ms to about 500 ms.  It is quite a big change (X 25), so I'm a little worried about it.  I don't think that it is a router problem because I also have a Windows XP system that is connected to the router, and he still sees about 19 ms network latency.  Just to be sure, I changed the system of Windows Vista and Windows XP system router ports, and the latency of each system has not changed, so I don't think that it is a router problem.

    I think so the network on Window Vista system stack has been damaged in some way, and I'm looking for help to repair.  My first thought was the restoration of the system, but I can't go far enough to make it useful.  The only system restore point that I currently have (for some reason any) yesterday, and it shows the same 500 ms of latency of the network on the Windows Vista system.
    Can someone help me to troubleshoot or fix this problem?
    Thank you very much.
    -Roger

    Well, one of those moments of "Doh!" ... found another article on the internet, this time, it gives an idea for my system... I was using Chrome 3.0 as my browser when I ran network speed sites that gave me the time of high latency, with that I was worried.  I found that my time of network latency on Vista, as measured by Firefox 3.5.3 is about 19 million, and for IE8 is about 10 MS, which both are very good.  My conclusion therefore is that Chrome 3.0 marked the beginning of a new era of the network latency that is bad for me.  Or maybe it's Eset Nod32, antivirus, it does not matter (when I turned Nod32 which made no difference to the number of Chrome, well off)...

    I had no idea that Chrome 3.0 was this badly inconsistent with everything that he fights with on my computer Vista, but I don't need because I have a couple of other browsers which are very good.

    Interesting, even when...

  • How can I get my Windows Vista laptop to connect to my Netgear R7000 Nighthawk

    I just bought a router Netgear R7000 AC1900 Nighthawk.  I works very well with all my computers with any operating systems except my wife of Acer Windows Vista.  Netgear technology could not operate either except when we connected as a guest without security protection.  I do not to run like that because of the lack of security.  The technology said that my version of Vista apparently did not have the right drivers for the router.  It works very well with my connected Ethernet Windows XP system, so it seems strange that the old system would have to the newer system drivers with no.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    Try the methods here, but not exactly the same question that they should help to correct yours.

    Your files must be accessible by any ADMIN account in C:\Users if necessary to migrate
    to another account.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. The ADMIN account in trunk
    Mode has no default password (unless someone has changed the password so it should be available).

    Some programs such as the updated Google (if you added the toolbar Google, Chrome or Google Earth)
