When you say "has got rid of th einternet", do you mean that when you connect , theres no page appearing, although th ebroadband has connected - it could be that you have removed any form of home page - have a look at control panel > internet options>home page and type in what you want to appear (I use www.google.co.uk as it loads so quick) - it seems odd that if you can connebt, then why theres no "internet" - perhaps youve removed a browser - of so why not try Moxilla forefox as it has far far less intryders (spyware) than internet explorer - sorry for the length here, but if tyou can connect then I would guess its just a browser problem which could be remedied by installing an appropriate browser ? (Spybot S & D shouldnt really cause you to lose anything useful , it basically just removes rubbish)
