So now that the main desktop in the household has a possible virus,
and not the laptop, since my sister did not have her firewall running
at the time of wireless activation of the modem, wha tis the next step
in cleaning up the virus from the computer. Should she reformat the
hard drive to original factory settings, or how could the loss of
connectivity be fixed so that her modem can be accessed via her
computer again?
You didn't say what operating system (and Service Pack level) the main
desktop is running, but if it is XP you rarely need to reinstall the
operating system. Here are virus/malware removal steps to go through
systematically:

Once you have the computer cleaned up, the connectivity may be fixed
also. Losing connectivity because of malware is extremely common.
