Internet/Computer Help

[Double Eights]

My computer has been garbage for a while now. The internet has been going turtle slow for a week or two, like I am on dial-up or something. However today the internet crapped out even worse. I can only get onto three websites(Yahoo.com, OS, and Yahoo Fantasy). All of the other websites I try to connect to always get an error message. I also cannot connect with AIM. I keep getting the error message "The AIM service can't be reached."

So essentially I am confined to Yahoo, Operation Sports, and checking in on my Fantasy team. Nothing else works.

What is wrong with my internet/computer?

I am awful with computers, so I am going to need you to explain to me what that means.

Re: Internet/Computer Help

turn it off and then back on. Do you run a spyware program at all on it ?

I'm running Ad-Aware right now. I'm hoping it helps.

Having computer porn withdrawls

Well that Ad-Aware scan did absolutely nothing. Internet is going about the same speed, and I still can't access any websites other than the three I mentioned.

I unplugged the modem, router, and the computer. Plugged them all back in and still nothing. I hate technology.

I ran Ad-Aware SE(whatever that is) and a Virus scan. Didn't seem to help.

Get a new computer.

Send me a check and I will.

Download Adaware 2007. It's new and free. Make sure you update it before you run it.

Downloading it now. I'll run tonight while I'm sleeping.

Hopefully it works. Computers are worthless without the internet.
