Hey.
I've been having a problem with my internet connection, I suppose. About, well, it varies...sometimes it's twice in a 15 minute period of time, sometimes once a day...my internet connection (DSL at the moment), stops working for about a 30 second period of time, and then it just starts working again.
If I try to go to a website during that period of time, I get this message:
This started happening about 7 months ago when I reformated my computer.
I contacted the company that makes my computer, and after we went through a few things, they said that there didn't seem to be a problem with my hardware, and said, generally, "wtf." They said to do/it could be one of these three things:
1. Contact my ISP.
2. Contact the company that makes my router.
3. I could have a virus/spyware.
I didn't think that it was my ISP/router because I've had, during this 7 month period of time, dial up connected by two different types of external modems, cable, and DSL...the problem occured with all of them.
I contacted my ISP and they said my connection was perfect. Yeah, bullshit, I know better. I contacted my router and they said, generally, "wtf", and that my router was compatable with my computer, ect, so it should work.
So, I tried to find out if I had a virus/spyware...apparently I had lots. I thought I had it fixed, when I got the "Connection Test Failed" message again.
So, here's my Hijackthis log, and if any of you know how I might be able to fix this, I'd appreciate it. =)
