Hi, Sparky. I'm sorry, but this is not enough information for you to get
a good answer. Your post is the equivalent of saying, "it's broken".
Here are generic troubleshooting steps for you to take: 1) scan with
current antivirus ("current" means a version not earlier than 2002 but
using updated virus definitions); 2) remove spyware with Spybot Search
& Destroy (
www.security.kolla.de) and Ad-aware (
www.lavasoftusa.com).
Be sure to update these programs before running, and it is a good idea
to do virus/spyware scans in Safe Mode; 3) delete temporary and
Temporary Internet Files; 4) stop unnecessary services/programs from
starting with Windows - see
www.blackviper.com for services info and
www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm for programs info - 5) look in
Event Viewer for clues.
After you know your computer is clean, if you're still having problems
then repost. Be sure to include some information about your system, how
your get to the Internet (method of connection, ISP name), what changed
between the time things worked and the time things didn't, and what
you've already done to troubleshoot.
Cheers,
Malke
