Why do you say this? Is there any evidence of a virus? It would be a strange virus indeed causing the symptoms you describe. Most malware tries not to cause visible disruption. > Just weird that wifi works on every other device but I can't ping the router > to see what is connected on any device that can connect to the internet. > Nothing works on the imac though -- says it's connected by ethernet and > airport -- at the same time even. I can deselect and neither works either. Because you can’t see your router at 192.168.0.1, doesn't mean the router isn't there. That's just the most common address. For example, I keep mine at 192.168.1.255 for obscure reasons. Go into another device that's working and look for your router address in the network settings. It will be called router or gateway.
