But although I can install a suitable program to look at it and maybe remove it I can't download the latest virus signatures. What's the best way forward for me to see if I've got an infection which may be causing my connection problems?

Put them on a USB thumb drive or burn to CD-R. The infected machine shouldn't be connected to a LAN or the Internet anyway. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ Posted by David H.

However, because I was having some problems with my firewall/virus program (Comodo) I disabled it for a while. I'm not sure now whether my connection problems stem from before or after this event, but it seemed to me reasonable to ensure that all malware is removed before trying to repair connections.

You need to do network diagnostics first. You are on BTInternet. How do you access the Internet (ex. aDSL) ? What equipment is between you and the Internet ? Have you checked to see if there are any problems with your ISP in your area ? -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp Similar Threads Posted Anti-Virus Software without Internet Connection February 26, 2008, 11:03 am Removed malware/virus no internet connection June 23, 2009, 1:15 pm Fake/Rogue AV causes Internet connection failure for infected prof February 3, 2010, 7:15 am Lost System Restore Points, Management Services, Internet Connection, Firewall icon in Sys Tray, Sound June 13, 2005, 12:34 pm Internet virus May 17, 2006, 9:34 am VIRUS!
