Hi, all --
I got a trojan (Virtumundo) yesterday by stupidly clicking "cancel" on one
of those counterfeit dialog boxes instead of closing it from the taskbar.
It took some doing to get it off. Since then I've been steadily getting a
windows pop-up box that tells me every few minutes that my internet
connection is unavailable, and do I want to work offline or try again?
Work Offline
No connection to the Internet is currently available.
To view Internet content that has been saved on
your computer, click Work Offline.
Click TryAgain to attempt to connect.
Work Offline Try Again
At the moment I am hardwired to a router by an ethernet cable. We have a
DSL connection. When I click "try again," the connection always works.
Nothing else on my system has changed. Ken is wired to the same connection,
and he isn't having any problems. So I think that the trojan, or the
removal of it, may have reset whatever it is that times a connection out
periodically. I've googled it, but I can't figure out where among all the
connection and networking dialogs the setting is (for Win XP pro). Can
someone tell me, or give me some other idea about what the problem might be?
Thanks to all.
