I seriously doubt it is real spyware. :-)

So you're saying that you have a Bellsouth provided router? I'm not
clear on the connection - the laptop should be making a wireless
connection to your wireless router, and the router is the thing that
makes the connection to Bellsouth. So you're saying that the router is
provided by Bellsouth?

Any wireless card should work to talk to any wireless router,
providing that they speak the same protocol, or are on the allowed
access lists, etc.

More details are needed, I think.
