Hello, recently I used a software AVG PC Tuneup and it has never been a problem for me until a couple of days ago when I decided to install it on my DELL. Now, I went to system advisory and did a system scan on recommended settings, I pressed 'fix selected' and my Wifi was disabled, I tried everything. I can't get my wifi to work without plugging in my modem directly ot my pc. I noticed my wifi radio was disabled, so I pressed the F2 button but nothing worked. I am trying to re enable my wifi radio / wireless radio connection button but it won't work.

My program intel my wifi utility tells me my wifi is disabled but I can't enable it. Any help? Thank you.

System information

Manufacturer: Dell
PC Model: Inspiron N5010
System Type: 64-bit
Windows 7 Professional

Thank you, but I've tried those options and I've had on luck. They al say it's enabled. I don't know what AVG did to my settings but I can't connect.
