Computer Question

[[Emotional Hobocore]]

Lately I've been connecting to the internet but I cannot run any internet applications. I think it is because I'm reciving way more bytes of information then I'm sending is this because of some kind of spyware or something, none of my three aplications are picking it up and I'm using, AVG, Spybot, and Adaware, none of them can detect a problem but I assume it's spyware.

What exactly happens when you try to run a program?

Recieving more packets than you send is normal, My current sent packets is around 3 million whereas my recieved is up at 30 million.

Theres probably a configuration error somewhere.

Well it fails to connect to the program I've ran though all the normal cures, you know removing the firewall uninstalling any new installted programs, rolling back to a succesful log in, reinstalling my modem.

EDIT: SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO RESPOND MY COMPUTER CONNECTION WAS DROPPED

What do you mean fails to connect? Like AIM or something not being able to connect?

I'm also running a dial up modem. 56k micromodem.

[[Emotional Hobocore]]

My connection rate is also alot lower then usual but that doesn't worry me any.

[[Emotional Hobocore]]

If anyone has any advice it would be great, it has been bothering me for weeks.

Is this problem unsolvable, because maybe I should just install windows I've ran the repair disk.

Is it possible that your ISP has implemented DNS servers or some other form of gateway, and you have missed the memo?

Since you're using dialup, see if you can dial a different number. And by the way, there are a few free dialup services out there...I'm using one of them, but it's only for western Washington and New England. There are other services, but their coverage is limited, and sometimes, so is the time for your connection.

Well when I dial up it makes a funny noise, I just turned my modem speaker on and it was like a static noise over everything.

The funny noises are normal. You should have the dialing sound first, then a warbling screech, then a multi-toned sequence, then white noise...

Wait, what do you mean? Funny as in paranormal?

Hm. Try using a different phone line, if you have one. Also, if your phone and computer aren't on the same line, connect a phone to your computer's line and try placing a call. If there's still a lot of static on the line, you may have problems. Oh, but don't forget to make sure that the cord isn't too close to electrical equipment...
