I have uninstalled the software I was using for my internet wireless broadband connection (which shows up under the heading: Dial-up & VPN in the Network icon). I made sure all folders were removed from my PC, meaning I went into the Program Files folder and the Program Data folder. This internet connection was made via a USB modem.
