loosing wireless connection

hi can anyone help please.
my internet seemed to be a bit slow today. i ran a scan and it got rid of something. this morning my hub light kept going to red and disconnecting me. tonight ive lost my wireless connection about six times and its driving me nuts. the hub lights have stayed blue though.
hub is in the only available place but has always been there. i dont have a cable to try but have always had wireless.
bt helpline doesnt say theres any problems in my area although the weather this morning was awful.
any ideas please? thanks

    Hub lights going red are normally password related btw.

    Anyway, run a full system scan (hijackthis, antimalware, spybot, etc) and post the results.

    What security are you using, WEP, WPA, WPA2?

    Just a question, what did you use(to scan) and what was the trojan.... some of the experts will ask otherwise.
    Post the results if possible.
