Please download and run hijackthis Do a scan and then save a log. Take the log and ATTACH IT (do not post) to your next post.

We do not like to post hijackthis logs in sections other than the malware forum as we do not want to encourage people to post malware issues in this forum.

I am not looking for malware. I am looking for what programs or combinations of programs might cause this behavior. If I notice any malware, I will redirect you to the malware forum.

I didn't ask you when I worked on your malware log, but you have mcafee and avg running. Is mcafee a firewall? Or are both antivirals running? You also have PCTools Siteguard and Spyware Doctor Is the XP firewall on also? You may have too many protection programs running.....

I have gone through your hijack this log again and I don't see anything malware-related.

About the MacAfee I don’t use it anymore, I don’t want it and I sometimes use Spyware Doctor and I don’t know what is PCTools Siteguard (maybe its from spyware doctor) the only firewall I got is from lavasoft, here is my recent log. Since it doesn’t let me attach it because of a page error, I am going to copy paste it... sorry!

Can you disable the lavasoft personal firewall and see if that helps?

if it doesn't, I want you to go in and disable the XP firewall. You may have it set up automatically. Do you?

go into add/remove programs and remove mcafee if it is there.

Go to the windows update page and download all available updates.

did you upgrade to sp2 from another version of windows?

BSNCAPBYY, try this:

Download and install Tune Up 2006 Trial

Click on Clean up & Repair. Run TuneUp DiskCleaner. Delete all junk files. Afterwords, return to the Main Screen.

Click on Clean up & Repair. Run TuneUp RegistryCleaner. Fix all errors. Afterwords, return to the Main Screen.

Click on Optimize & Improve. Run TuneUp RegistryDefrag, which will take a few minutes and need a reboot.

After the reboot, start Tune Up again. Click on Optimize & Improve then click on TuneUp System Optimizer. Now click on Accelerate downloads and Internet surfing to accelerate downloads, select the speed just above your actual connection speed, this requires a reboot.

After the reboot, start Tune Up again. Click on Optimize & Improve then click on TuneUp System Optimizer. In the menu to the left called "Wizards", choose System Advisor. Note some of the advice it tells you.


Let me know how it goes.

The problem is not because of the firewalls, I have done all the updates and I got the right sp2 version. i have also done the tuneup 2006. ok since what you’ve told me my internet is not disconnecting anymore but I think is not fast anymore, and another thing is that in the highjack this that I got I thinks there’s stuff there that I don’t even use, if you help me it would be great, thanks
