    So I've spent several hours today clearing out a friends laptop that had the thinkpoint malware on it. I think it is a C2310 model. Pent. M 1.6ghz 1.2gb ram system.

    Oddly, now that I've gotten that cleared off and then uninstalled McAfee Enterprise (total PITA to clear off the agent bit), any time I turn on the wireless card (via the hardware switch), the machine blue screens and auto reboots. The only way I can boot into WinXP is in safe mode sans network drivers or with the wireless card turned off at hardware level. The wired card works fine.

    I can still get net access thru a wired connection. Updating windows/MS Security/Spybot. Any hints on what to do? Could the thinkpoint malware have screwed windows enough that it killed the wireless?

    Windows is also missing video card drivers/controller issues as well as "base system device drivers and multimedia drivers. Any good sites for drivers? Fujitsu site is rather vague on their drivers for it.

    System stats: Fujisu C series Lifebook 1.6ghz Pentium M, 1.2GB ram 40GB HD

    TIA
