  Just ran anti-malware and it detected some malware that "disable security centre", naturally chose to remove it and I was prompted to do a restart - which I did too.

  After I restarted, my wireless device doesn't work anymore. When I try to turn it on, it says "no wireless device".... What should I do?

  Using an Aspire 5685WLMi and windows xp professional..

  Thanks..

  Driver is probably missing.

  Double clicked on "intel proset wireless" and it says "was unable to detect a supported wireless adapter.. please install a supported adapter.."

  I don't quite get it, why would the driver just disappeared like this after I removed malware?

  Thanks anyway =)

  sometimes the malware hid itself insde the driver, so when windows boots, it boots the driver for the piece of hardware, at the same time activating the malware.
