Help plz. I got a nasty trojan on my laptop which wouldnt let me open any programs so I figured best way to get rid of it was to format. Which I did and everything works fine but I cannot access the internet. My router is connected to my laptop via ethernet. I'm a noob when dealing with computers so what do you suggest I do? I'm pretty sure I am missing network drivers but I cannot connect to the internet to download them. And I bought the laptop w/o any dell cds.

TIA

Use the computer you are using to download the drivers off Dell's website. Put them on a flash drive and install them onto your laptop. You'll most likely need the network adapter driver first and foremost.

What kind of laptop is it? Post the make and model and we can post a link to the drivers if you're unsure of where to go.
