hello, my computer keeps attempting to connect to the
internet and comes up with an error 777 message, "remote
computer did not answer"

I have changed my security settings to try and stop this,
and erased some numbers on the network connections I
thought might be the culprit, but it keeps going. How can
I stop it?

Thanks for anyone's help.

You did scan your computer for virus with the latest definition table.

What is running at startup
Run MSCONFIG.EXE from the Start/Run Menu.
In the StartUp tab, any unknow process being called?

Look them up.
START-UP APPLICATIONS

Or some parasites.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware
