Dial-up problem or undetected virus?

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.

Is it possible that I may have a new virus that Norton has
not detected?

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,

You may want to try downloading a Spy Ware detection
program suah as AdWare. This might give you an idea of
whats going on in your machine.

Good Luck
 
Hi!

I believe that I already have since it is no longer shown
as an available update when I go to the WindowsUpdate site.

As well... doesn't service pack 4 include it?

I'm still puzzled!


Thanks,

Mike
 
No, it's not included in SP4.
