Vista - No internet connection

Hi,

I have an hp with vista hp 32bit and recently I am unable to connect to the Internet. My Internet icon has a red X over it and it says connection:unknown the dependency service or group failed to start. I have no idea why this is happening. I tried system restore but an errormessage says it's unable to restore. I ran the antivirus (norton 360) and 3 Trojans were found and destroyed. Still doesn't work. Ran the cmd prompt and tried the sfc /scannow fix and nothing was found. I'm flatout of ideas. Any advice?

I can't download that file though. See my dilemma? Plus I'm not running Trend micro antivirus.

I reset the vista drivers in the command prompt and restarted the computer and it's back to normal.
