:[
Okay, I'm on my old desktop computer.

About 15 minutes ago my laptop was working fine, I was on the internet and on stickam.com. I had my chat open and kicked someone out. Minutes later I was disconnected from the internet. My computer still says I'm connected but internet explorer, firefox, aim and msn messenger won't work. I tried to do a system restore but it said it couldn't be completed for an unknown reason.
Do you think I have a virus?
Can someone help me out? I have no idea how to fix it and I can't get it checked out till later.

Please? Thanks. :[

I've tried a virus scan as well. Nothing.
I'm using wireless right now with my other computer and it works fine, but on my laptop, nothing.

If your using wireless, restart the router.

Hmm..it might just be a bad connection with the wireless and ur laptop...try leaving it off for about 5min and then doing it..or open ur wireless connecticon and try to repair it if there is a button..

For someone to use a trojan you have to be connected to the internet. xD
Go turn your router on and off, see if that works at all.

some trojans just get em self and fuck up machine..if u can try to remove it..there should be  a remove option after scanning
