    Could possibly be virus/spyware?? Check threads that recommend spyware removal progs and run them.

    I had a similar problem with an Acer laptop. When Windows was managing the wireless connection, it would freeze completely, nothing could be used. I disabled the wireless card via a handy button on the front of the machine, and switched to let the card's bundled software control it (Intel). This worked fine. I have since updated the drivers for the card and it works perfect when Windows is managing the connection.
    Not quite the same scenario as yours, but you never know
