I really dont know whats wrong with my computer...


Recommended Posts

a few days ago my computer started to randomly disconnect me from the internet. I thought it was my modem, so i updated the drivers. didnt work. so i call up my isp and ask them if they can help. they give me the usual "is this or that light on, is the modem plugged in" newbie ****.

15 minutes ago it disconnected me, this time I was on irc though. and guess what? irc stayed up. I couldnt go to websites, sign on aim, or anything else internet related except for IRC. What the hell is going on? Sometimes it will disconnect me, i'll attempt to log back on and I'll get the (windows xp) blue screen of death.

Please help. I really dont even know where to begin. I've never seen this before.

Ask me anything you need to know.

Here's a screenshot of my task manager

looks like you might have some bad processes running are there any more svchost.exe running?? its a normal windows process but too many is caused by virus/spyware can see examples at this page http://www.2-spyware.com/file-svchost-exe.html

should run a check for spyware and virus scan... if they come back negative maybe try another scanner... none are perfect so something could slip through ;)

another thing... check what things are in the startup list... if you see something suspicious go to google type the file name... if its something bad then there is usually lots of results explaining what it is and how to remove ;)

Download Spybot S&D and Adaware, update the patterns on both of these programs, and run a full scan. A lot of people say "I already have them installed, and they don't find anything", well if this is the case, make sure your pattern files are up to date AND you have the most recent version of both of these programs.

Also go to http://housecall.antivirus.com and run a scan EVEN IF you have a virus scan program installed.

You may also want to download the Microsoft AntiSpyware beta program. It picks up some stuff Adaware and Spybot doesn't find.

    • LibreWolf 139.0.4-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. Notes: To receive automatic updates, you may refer to the unofficial LibreWolf-WinUpdater that employs a scheduled task to accomplish the same.

    • So the 16 GB minimum memory requirement isn't to be taken seriously? The WU installer evidently took it seriously, at least in my case. https://www.techpowerup.com/31...lot-and-windows-ai-features
