Internet connection is lost after 1 min.
My internet conection gets lost after 1 min. I looked at
everthing, but nothing makes sense. I just reinstalled windows ME and can not even connect long enough to make any downloads to update. Any HELP? |

Such behaviour is often the result of having picked up unwanted malware from
the net. Since you appear to be able to post messages to this newsgroup can I assume that you have access to another PC? If so then you should use that PC to download the various tools I mention below and use them to check your PC for malware. When did you last check your system for malware using your preferred antivirus application making sure first that you are using an updated current set of viral reference signatures? If you haven't yet managed to install an antivirus application the download and use Stinger (http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/) and perhaps also F-Prot which will allow you to scan your system from DOS (http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/dos/). This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0 from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster (http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent some parasites getting a grip on your PC. Then there is CWShredder (http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best way of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp.. Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a folder called HJT on C: and copy the file you downloaded to that folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of Internet Explorer. Enable Explorer to see all files and fodlers (Tools | Folder Options | View and check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files") and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log to either the HijackThis Forum at http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or alternatively http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this will enable someone to identify the cause of your problem.
