Question

hi i am having trouble with my pc at the moment,it keeps disconnecting from the internet and a redial count down clock comes up.
when i try to redial it doesnt connect me and it takes quite a few trys for me to get back on the net.
I have checked pc for a virus and cant find any.

Does anyone know what is up and how do i fix it.
Please explain in easy terms as im not too well up on the pc as yet.

Many Thanks Chris

sounds like the bugbear virus. Use this link to download a tool to find and remove the virus:

Have you got call waiting on your telephone line? If so, disabling it will probably help
