Local Area Connection DISAPPEARED!

[youtin]

My Dad was complaining about not being able to access the internet, and when I checked out the computer, Local Area Connection (under Control Panel -> Network Connections) has disappeared! There's nothing under Network Connections. I have a sneaky suspicion this could be the work of a virus, but for the meantime, is there a way to bring it back

Thanks in advance!

I hope this was in the right section...

Well do some scans for virus and check and see if the NIC is installed.

And I doubt it's a big deal but I would have put it in Computer Networking and Servers.
