Actually it was a typo mate. I have to put a few errors in now and again to prove I'm human. ;):):D

That and I had a few beers last night and have felt better...:dead:

[The Dogfather]

It'll need more than a few errors, perhaps a DNA test can be arranged! :p

[frizzie__kizzie]

Isn't filty a word? (And before you all jump down my throat, I know he meant to say FILTHY!)

:I:clown::kiss:

[The Dogfather]

Has anyone noticed that Minime hasn't posted for a couple of days, I wonder if he's had his internet conection cut :eek:!

Iain where are you? Big Col's getting withdrwal symptoms from not being able to ask more questions about his new car ;)

[Big Col]

What...you don't think I have the dealer email address?

[The Dogfather]

I bet they had to put in Broadband just to answer all the requests for info!

[Mini Me]

Iain The problem with your PC is a virus. Not sure which one but I had a similar problem.

Correct, some variant of the sasser or blaster worm i'm afraid :dead:

[MartinSullivan]

There are several viruses ( or possibly in this case a worm) that can force you PC to keep dropping your internet connection. You can download patches and instructions for removing the virus from symantec or the microsoft websites (obviously from a pc that isnt infected). I have seen lots of pc's over the past few months that have been hit. Definitely worth checking out

[The Dogfather]

I remember having to download a removal tool to get rid of it.

[MartinSullivan]

The most common is the blaster or sasser, but I see Bonnie has already posted whilst I was typing

[MartinSullivan]

Read about blaster here (http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.mspx) and Sasser here (http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/sasser.mspx)

You can also get the removal tools from the above pages or from your virus protection supplier (and that isnt the chemist ok!)

Use these all the time for "homers" as people from our work are not that bright and ask questions like "do I need a firewall if I have broadband...??" DOH!:D Got a free firewall from Sygate (personal firewall) and it's excellent. register and you get free updates also!

Run it at leas once a week... but better still.. get some Anti Virus Software!!!!!! :p:blackeye:

Well?? Don't just sit there on your ar$e watching the money roll in the door... get to it boy!!

By the way you have to keep your Windows and Virus definitions up to date by downloading regular updates.
