INTERNET NOT RECOGNIZING MODEM, MODEM DISABLED

I believe some virus infected my computer and my port 3
lucent modem is not enabled. I tried to figure this out
but cannot get it up and running. Thanks!

First, check in device manager to make sure it's showing up there. Is it?

yes, it is showing it, and AOL detects it, hwoever once
the dialing process is complete it boots me off and tries
to redial. The modem is not showing as enabled. THanks!

Leaving AOL issues aside....can you use it for a regular PPP connection if
you have that as an option? Does it show up in your network connections?
Try setting up a new Internet connection (even a bogus one) in there to use
the modem...
Do you know for sure you had a virus? If so, what was it, and how did you
clean it? Run good antivirus software & keep it updated?

I don't think it's showing up in my network connections.
I don't know where to begin!

Open your network connections. Try to make a new one using your modem.
You didn't answer my virus question...?

I'm not sure about a virus, the only th8ing I know is I
was online, then got off, now can't get back online. I
read in a pc magazine where certain viruses, if you try to
remove some of the stuff they put on your computer, they
will ruin your connection.

Do you have good AV software, updated regularly? If not, get some ASAP.
Did you try to set up a new network connection using your modem as I
suggested?
