I have a problem I hope someone can help me with? I have a high speed
connection that I closed down my firewall to try to get something for my wife
working. Yes, you guessed it, I forgot to turn the firewall back on. It was
about two weeks before I noticed it. The problem I have is that everytime I
boot the computer for a new day, I have lost my internet connection. I can
get it back through a system restore but something must screw up the
connection at reboot. I must have some kind of virus. Has anybody had this
problem and where do I look. It probably is in the registry. I have run
adaware, spyware, and antivirus software, but it still changes at reboot. Any
ideas!

You are probably infested with malware.

First, run a scan with an up to date anti-virus.
