I got a Linksys wireless network and all of a sudden computer freezes up

panther05 · 04-28-2007, 06:10 PM

Hi,

I moved last week and decided with a Linksys wireless netowrk consisting of two desktops and a laptop. The main dekstop is connected by cable, the other two wireless.

I installed/connected the Linksys WUSB54GC USB adapter to the wireless desktop and ever since, the computer has been giving me problems. It freezes up and I have no choice but to cut off power to retart it. I'm aslo having trouble when it goes into sleep mode --the screen goes blank and freezes. The internet does work however.

I should also mention that this happened almost immediately after I installed 'Webroot Spy Sweeper' ...(having switched from AVG).

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!

Try unistalling the Linksys USB drivers and unistall spy sweeper and see if that solves the problems

A client of mine had a similar issue with SpySweeper.. I believe we fixed it by disabling the ActiveX monitor within SpySweeper settings. Like holdenssx said, try disabling SpySweeper to see if that fixes your problem. If it does, re-enable it and disable each setting one-by-one until you alleviate the problem. I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is SpySweeper.
