I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. The problem I'm having is after I leave my computer on for a few hours and try to open up intrnet explorer or yahoo messenger, I no longer seem to have an internet connection. My modem is still on and all lights still solid so I;m always getting the feed from my cable company. And once I restart my computer, I always get my connection back, but it's really annoying having to restart my computer everytime. This has never happened before so i'm really not sure what it can be. i scan my pc for adware and spyware daily and i always have my firewall on. i also scan for viruses a few times a week and i update the defenitions daily. anyone have an idea what can be causing me to loose my connection, im assuming it has to be a software issue or possibly some adware or a virus that i cant find but i dunno... HELP!!!
