On the laptop. I lost all means of connections to the internet. I can't dial up because its been greyed out in the "add a new connections" tab. Windows takes roughly 5 minutes to start (after logging in, it stays on the backfround with nothing popping up)

I used to use my home lan to access internet with the laptop, but that is out as well....can't pick anything up. My Kaspersky says some proctection service couldn't start, but its updated yesterday, so definitions should be pretty new. The only new program I downloaded and installed was a boot screen from themexp.org, which had some spyware Kaspersky warned called NewDotCom....

Please, if someone know this symtom and have a solution, please let me know.

Do me a favour, install and rund this application quickly:

Then post the log here.. then we can see if we can help
*edit* also maybe change the proportions of your signature.

ouch - I would need the laptop in front of me to be of any help. Sorry I can't post anything useful to you.

wow...all I can say is that once Windows has reached a level like that...the only thing which can save it (IMO) is a format.
So thats what I would do. Iv had that happen to me quite often when I use using dodgy things.

Also after a format, dont install Kaspersky, try Avast (PRO preferably). I installed Kaspersky last night and all and all I can say is that I dont trust it!

Also ZoneAlarm is a very good firewall..use it! (the free one or Pro) also dont get the BETA ZoneAlarms

O10 - Broken Internet access because of LSP chain gap (#4 in chain of 4 missing)

Thats why you cant connect.
Download and run LSPFix and see if that doesn't help.

You might also want to download AdAware and sort this out...

......while waiting for the replies, I repair installed windows.....still don't work :'(

I'll try the LSPFix

LSPFix rocks!!!! It actually did it ^_^ Just run it and restarted the PC

Btw I really like Kaspersky....so gonna reinstall that and NEVER EVER download stuff from themexp.org again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh another thing, what you looking at is a very recent installation of windows + I got nothing on it that is useless.....its a laptop for work
