Yeah...this problem's all over the internet and stuff..and I used search but couldn't find anything, but I wanted to ask you guys instead/anyways. My 'local area connection' constantly disconnects and reconnects, I can powercycle the modem but it continues to constantly d/c and r/c after <10 minutes. I used avast to scan for viruses as one google result came to this problem and someone suggested spyware/virus so I used avast, found files under documents and settings>(user)>aplication data>identities>(really long folder name) that were all infected and so i deleted them...so far my modem has stayed connected for a while but I wanted to get this problem out to you guys before it d/cs again [if it does]
-thanks

It hasn't disconnected since you got rid of the virus?

I had a router that did the same thing.  A new modem/router-all-in-one fixed the problem.  Hopefully getting rid of the virus will fix it for you, but I don't think it's a software issue.

It could be just your router starting too give up. How old is it ?

My router isn't in effect yet...my pc's still connected to the modem, because i can't get the router set up...a tech is coming sometime this week/weekend...I'm sure he'll solve the issue..we've already had a modem replaced because it would disconnect and not reconnect for a long period of time then stay connected for a long period of time..the new one is...well...relatively...new. Anyways, after I posted the thread, I went to play cstrike 'cuz it had stayed connected for a while..but I got into playing and after a bit it disconnected..and in cstrike it doesn't just freeze for a second, you have to reconnect. So i did it more than several times...I just got home (3:40 pm here) and a "Connected - 100 mgps" notification was above the icon bar so It's been like that for a few minutes, but there's no telling what's going to happen.
