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
