No one knows what to do or what's wrong. Please help me TwT

    your scan may not be that well. it couldve kjnocked out some drivers for your wireless or you coul dhave an IP confliction. i was going to mail you to try to help you remotely, but thats not an option i see.

    uhm only thing i can suggest isti disable your wireless network card and re-enable it.

    another alternative is to right click/repair on your wireless which essentially does the same thing (assuming you use windows)

    Give that a try.

    is the internet working for other people who are connected to it? your internet might have gone done although it is still connected to the router... another thing to try is to reset your browser as the scan or trojan might have changed a setting within your system to make it seem as if the internet is down for you

    It seems like you tried everything. If none of those options worked try contacting the laptop's manufacturer. Thats all I can help you with. Sorry.
