I have an IBM R60 think pad running windows xp. I have pc tools firewall and spyware doctor with antivirus. I recently had a virus on the computer and removed it with help from this site(see trojan vundo H by flivermo in hijack this log files). I am not positive if it is related but somewhere in the process the usb ports stopped working properly.

When i plug my printer in, nothing happens. The computer doesn't even recognize its there. When i plud a usb flash drive in, the computer recognizes it is there but i cant open it (I have tried many of them). On the device manager window it says this device is not working properly. I cant update the drivers because it tells me they are up to date.

I also have another problem when i restart my computer the speakers work for an unknown amount of time but as the computer sits for a while, it seems the computer forgets there are even speakers on it. The computer says there is no device connected. This problem also seems to have appeared during the removal of the virus.
