So, wireless network was working fine. But without any change of settings or anything, I can no longer find my wireless network on my laptop. My friends similar machine picks it up fine. I've checked all the connection/wireless card settings and everything is pretty much default/how i had it working before. sound like a virus to anyone? I cant seem to find much info online. I guess i don't know the right sites to search.
