If AVG or Avast is working leave one of them as they are free and pretty darn good just make sure you get a Firewall also.

So what is actually happening to the connection, please elaborate.

Are you an XP user?

Router User?

XP

Because it's a new computer I have been installing , anti virus, firewall etc and they have knocked out my connection each time and I have to configure it again. I have to go into settings and start off as if it's the first time. I don't remember it happening with my old machine perhaps it's because this one is newr and has more inbuilt protection

This site is faster today but in general I find the internet slower with this new machine.

So you now have only one Antivirus on PC?

And only one Firewall?

how do you mean knoking your connection? Sure all leads and microfilters are ok? and have you let your firewall gain access to the connection?

If Sygate? when asked about a connection tick box and then ok/allow if you dobt tick box it will allow a connection only on a temporary basis.

Yes , AVG and Sygate.

The 'temporary ' probably explains it then.

Thanks again
