DUN Network adapter not available

Ran spyware software on my daughters comp and found some problems.
Zapped the files. Dial up would still work and would show a connection
to my ISP but no webpages would load, giving the error "DNS not found"
or similar.

Tried a number of things, including uninstalling DUN (control panel,
uninstall software, windows, communication). Also followed the
Micrsoft bulletin relating to reinstalling, which included the above,
as well as involving renaming a whole load of files and re-extracting
them from cabinet files. Uninstalled all network components and then
tried to reinstall them

Now we reach the new problem - having followed all the steps - when it
comes to installing the dialup network adapter (control panel,
networks, configuration, add adapter, Microsoft, dial up adapter) -
once we get to Microsoft, the dialup network adapter is not there.

Every article, troubleshooter, etc etc that I have looked at all make
the assumption that when you choose Microsfsoft, the dialup network
adapter will be there. Its not.

Is this just a setting that makes it not visible or have I killed it?
Where do I look?

Help!

You may need to have a go at repairing your Winsock2 Stack
