There is a network key that you can turn on and off, I bet you have it off.

@package I am using wireless, I think this is the model. Toshiba satellite A215-s7437. Also I am trying safe mode right now.

@emp when I held F8 it just beeped at me for like 5 minutes and then gave me the option to start in safe mode..

Don't take it to bestbuy. They will charge you like $100 just to figure out what it has.

If the wireless isn't working but ethernet is, try updating your drivers.

I Ended up getting everything to work for a few minutes but then when I was browsing on google a fuck ton of error pop ups came up saying my laptop is now blocked from the internet if I continue all my information will be stolen with some kinda YAN virus. So I said fuck it and chucked the damn thing back in the closet

safe mode without networking

download avast and malwarebytes on a usb stick or something if you cant get it on the laptop

do you know what specific viruses / malware is causing this
