I keep losing my connection to the Internet

[Guest Dena Jo]

I keep losing my connection to the Internet. This has only been

happening since the last automatic update that took place this week. I

have two computers (one XP and one Vista) connected via a router, and

only my XP computer loses the connection. Has anyone else had this

problem since the update? Any suggestions? It's driving me crazy. It

seems to happen only when I'm using my browser (IE7).

Are you using Zone Alarm? If so they have an update to it that will

fix you. Just download and install.

Re: I keep losing my connection to the Internet

 

I've had the same problem on a number of occasions and not due to any type

of Windows updates but to damage caused from removing Internet applications,

malicious applications or malware.

 

This is what I do to fix the Internet connection:

Delete Temporary Internet Files and cookies from the Control Panel\Internet

Options\General tab; next go to the Programs tab\and click on "Restore Web

Configuration". Next Install XP TCP/IP Repair and run the TCP/IP Protocol

repair and restart the computer. If the problem persists, also repair the

Winsock with the same application...

If the problem still persists, disable Startup programs from; Start

Button\Run\type; "msconfig" (no quotes) and hit Enter... go to the Startup

tab\uncheck programs except for Office and the antivirus, Apply and exit.

Next clean/disinfect your system with applications like; "A Squared Free",

"Malwarebytes Anti-Malware", "Spyware Terminator", "Super Antispyware" or

"Windows Defender".

I've just installed the new relevant ZoneAlarm version 7.0.483.000,

and the outstanding MIcrosoft updates.

Everything seems to be working ok so far. Thanks to ZoneAlarm for

their swift action.
