Lightbulb do you have a router...??

I had weeks of snafus with this site and it turned out to be my router, which
was not working sometimes and working okay others. This totally confused us.

My husband's new laptop was the last straw...and it crashed our desktop regularly. If we unplugged it I could use this unit on weekends occasionally...
it was very hard to localize the problem.

Do you have the little icons on your tool tray at the bottom?
My son put those there for us, and then we saw that when those "can't find page" screens came up, we were getting a red X on the icons.

There is a trojan out there, labeled low threat that Trend Micro found on our unit. It was BHO_ MyWay... it is a browser blocker. I had it removed.
The scan is free, called HouseCall. You might want to try it. This was missed by our SpyBot and Avast scans.

(Mike Weins at BT suggested this to me).
