Is your WIFI security enabled? Maybe your connection is being hijacked?

how do i check my WIFI Security? as far as hijacked goes, no, but shared, yes; not with someone else using wireless, but a desktop using high-speed internet that i run off of.

When you connect to it, do you need to enter a password the first time?

you might check what all you have running in the background

if it's every hour, you might have some program going off causing you to disco

Even though I leave my security suite turned off except once a week to run scans I found my most recent round of discos was coming everytime I got the pop-up message that my security suite needed to be updated.  If I don't manually update twice a week I can be guaranteed of hourly discos.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
