I use firefox, and its allways done it... It has happened every time after my 3 formats too.
its not just me who gets this neither btw
downstairs the other computer does it too, and if either computer's interwebs stops working, both do.

open a command box ( start, run type cmd, press enter) in the black box type ping www.google.com and hit enter.. make a note of the MS ping return time.

one that has done, do this

type netstat -a, if you can do a screen grab of all ports that have a address, it will something like this
------------------------------------
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>netstat -a

once you have that info right click in the dos box, "select all" then press Ctr-C Open a PM to me and past that info in there.

cheers

heres m' pron connections :D

I dont even know what I'm looking at here...

ok you have something conencted tio poland in there and something thats hooked into belgium, get some spyware removal stuff run it, then reboot and run again in safe mode, get spybot or spysweeper and the free version of adaware

yea i was just gonna say that .be addy and the .pl are not legit. spybot or mwav will take care of that probably.

haha. spys in poland and belguim....what fagss




well it happend again with the 900 ping i reset my modem(not calling my ISP) and now its fine

I must be just oh so popular with the europeans

ok I tried that mwav thing, but I couldnt find a way round the buy' system so i used adaware instead :P looks a bit more porn free now :D

did adaware find anything and dont forget to use the check for updates function and so get ccleaner, install it use it

a list/screenshot of running processes & startup items (and no not just startup folder on start menu.. all of it, like registry stuff.. run/runonce etc etc) might shed some more light on it all..
