What virus or malware deleted my ability to dial up the Internet?

I literally cannot dial up or set up a dial-up connection because all the ways to do this have vanished from my computer. All the normal set-up boxes, Wizards, you name it, are all gone. As a result, I can't connect to the Internet, so I can't even download antivirus software or connect with a service to help solve the problem. Do I have to erase the drive and start all over again, reloading Windows? And I bought the computer second hand and don't have the program disks. How would I get Windows on again? Is this a virus or some kind of malware that did this?

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.

i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.

besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.

download firefox for free, Just have a try:
