Ethernet Driver Not Found

[Neil Jones]

I removed a virus or Malware problem but now I'm unable to install an Ethernet driver so I can use my cable modem. Since the Ethernet card is built into the motherboard (ASUS) I figured the Ethernet part of the motherboard was blown so I purchased a Ethernet card. Same problem. Maybe the Malware problem still exists? Suggestions to resolve this please. Before purchasing the Ethernet card I tried reinstalling the driver that comes with the ASUS motherboard and that didn't work.

It might have corrupted the driver!

I removed and tried to reinstall the driver. It won't work. I also installed a driver for the new PCI Express Ethernet card and that won't work.
