Network Adapter Drivers hacked help

MalikYassir · 23 Jul 2015

I scan my laptop daily for any virus and one day it found 200 viruses after that my anti virus asked me to delete them or no and i deleted them then it said you need to restart for the computer to take effect then i restarted my laptop and i saw that skype cannot go online and i checked my network it said limited access i reconnected and still says limited access and all tho its connected it shows an icon that isn't connected to the internet and i opened up Malware Bytes and scanned all my disks and when it was scanning windows files it detected a virus located in temporary internet files called PUP.Skytech i don't remember the full name and it took 3 and a half hours to complete the scan i deleted it and still my network isn't working i disabled and my network drivers and enabled them still and it had exclamation mark and it said windows cant use this driver because it is not signed it could be a malicious file i removed it and i used another laptop which i'm using right now and downloaded new drivers from my laptop manufacturer and i used the same compatible drivers for my laptop model but still not connecting to the internet

Don't know if this might lead to a solution but will have a look

With network adapter enabled and driver installed, right click in DeviceManager->Properties. Click Driver tab. Click Driver details button.

Click on each file you see. Is a Provider and Digital Signer listed for each one? In my example below, there's only one driver file and you can see it is signed.

/* EDIT */
If you find one or more files that are not signed, so give me a screen shot so I can see all the list. Tell me which one(s) aren't signed

Do you have any restore points prior to your infection, if so give it a try.

If not as you have a copy of the Drivers, go into Device manager and delete the network adapter,
Then right click on it again and select scan for hardware changes, if network adapter is not shown go to the unknown device entry and do the same.

dont forget you'l have to reinput the SSID and your password
