I have also tried connecting via an ethernet cable, but it still didn't recognise anything- nothing changes. (There is a box for "show connection options that this computer is not set up to use" clicking this reveals option for Broadband (PPoE) or Dial up.) If I try to " set up a new connection or network", >" connect to internet" I am told " windows did not detect any networking hardware". It shows the networks, but says " Limited access" next to whichever one I am connected to. If I click " connect to network" then it shows the two wi-fi networks I have, but says " Not Connected", and " Connections are available". I have no wireless connection in the network and sharing centre to get the properties of- " not connected to any networks". Please help- I have been battling with this the whole day now and am at my wits end, and trying the same things over and over. I'm using an Acer netbook with Windows 7 starter. Windows firewall on or off doesn't seem to make any difference. I don't know if it matters, but even when I uninstall Avast Internet Security, the wi-fi icon in the tray doesn't revert back to the icon used before Avast. But even after doing this there is no difference- if I uninstall Avast Internet Security it also removes my internet connection. I have just ran uninstallers for all the previous AV software I have had- I'm not certain that this had been done properly before the initial installation of the Avast Internet Security trial- it's quite likely it had just been done with the Windows uninstaller. ![]() It had been working fine for the month trial period. Even after trying to reinstall Internet Security it still stays the same- if I try to turn it on it says 'File System Shield provider not found' ![]() In this state Avast still does not work- if I try to renew or buy a license, just to get my laptop working again, Windows will ask me three times if Avast can make changes to my hard drive (details says it's the Avast firewall), but then nothing more. Only way for me to get the internet to work is to restore the system to before I uninstalled Avast Internet Security. If I try to connect to the internet from the control panel it says 'windows did not detect any networking hardware'. Now the internet connection no longer works- it says 'limited access' and 'not connected' (the wi-fi network is fine for other PCs). My Avast Internet Security trial expired, so I have tried to uninstall following the instructions given with the uninstaller.
