Dial-up issue?

[Michael R. Samario]

Hi!

I noticed that my downloads seem to be taking about 10
times longer than they should be taken. When I look at
the connection status, I see that more information is
being sent out than being recieved. The funny thing is
that I am not sending anything. I'm puzzled!

Is there an issue with the Dial-up networking?

I have already tried following:

1)I got Service Pack 4 and that at least corrected my
problem of not being able to disconnect and having the
svchost.exe error... but it did not fix this problem that
I am having.

2)I also tried using the Norton MSBlast Virus detector and
fix, but it claims that I do not have the virus.

Here is some info about my machine:

Pentium4-1.8Ghz (Asus P4T-E motherboard / Intel chip)
25 GB Hard drive
USR 56K Internal Winmodem
LG CD-RW/DVD drive
ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9000 using Catelyst drivers
Soundblaster Live OEM

Does anybody have any ideas????


Thanks in advance,

Michael R. Samario

When you are connected to an ISP it sends out information
to communicate with it, and the SVCHOST error means that
you DO have the virus, download the "Windows2000-KB823980-
x86-ENU" patch and run the fixBlast removal tool from the
symantec website! any of questions, email me!
