    Wi-Fi works for a few minutes, and then can't find any connection?


    When I turn on my computer, the wi-fi works normally for a few minutes. Normally, there is 4 connections on my range, and I use 1 of them. After a few minutes, the I will be disconnected from the wi-fi and the wi-fi sign has an X on it. When I clicked on it, it said it couldn't find any connections, but 1 minute ago I was having a 5/5 connection and the 3 other networks were 3/5. I'm 100% sure I installed a virus because the problem started after I installed a software. You know these annoying ads where you have to go through slowly and click "decline" stuff. I'm pretty sure I skipped 1 because I directly clicked next on the beginning. I am now on safe mode with networking. I have an Avast scan, no virus. Thank you very much!

    I would do a System Scan with Malwarebytes ... Once you have cleared any Virus or Malware you have ..


    You should be able to boot into Normal Mode .. Then Update your Drivers for the WiFi ..


    Might be a good idea to run a System Scan also .. To see if any files are corrupt ...
