reading helpful, but doing much better.
To start with...
you need to run 5-6 anti spyward programs (spybot, adaware, spykiller, spy sweeper, counter spy are what I use. counter spy found a nasty something all the others missed. make sure they updated to latest definitions. if you only run 1-2 spyware programs, they won't find all the spyware)
a GOOD anti-virus proggy (updated to latest definitions of course)
correctly re-installed drivers (many how to's on this on bbs. I suggest Driver Cleaner for most driver installs, and if you are using an Nvidia vid-card, Detonator Destroyer is a MUST [follow the directions on it. also a must])
eliminated everything not needed running in the background (may I suggest "Hijack This" AND LOTS of google time figurin' out what everything is. If you not sure, type it in google. great way to figure out what is/is not needed. Be CAREFUL with Hijack this, it's a powerful tool not to be used lightly)
and finally, as a LAST resort, if all the rest has failed, send Skuzzy a DX diag. report.
Oh, and run a ping plotter 2 the MA i.p. You ISP might have issues.
I say this because if it was on HT's end, the bbs would be CHOKED full of people screaming bloody murder, and it's not, and they aren't. So there's a 99.99999999% chance it's prob. on your end.
g/l! reply if ya' need help w/ any of it.
