Hello Friends,It's great to have found this forum to address my long standing BB woes.I have a situation which goes like this:Sometimes my internet connection breaks - but I don't get any notification ...such as a window popping to prompt user id/pwd or any window stating that the connection is lost. Web pages stop opening up and the IMs get disconnected. That's when I know that the connection is lost.The interesting part....When I look at the desktop data one dialer icon [Bridge connection] the icon is still lit up and when I go to disconnect the connection by right clicking on the icon the "Disconnect" option is simply de-activated [engraved]At that stage when I try to reboot my PC - my pc gets stuck at the "Saving your settings" mode and I have to reset my PC to get it working again.What do you think is the reason for this issue - a friend of mine told me that there could be a virus at the partition sector causing this mess.I am totally clueless - I formatted my PC but this thing seems to keep hitting me back n forth.FYI - I am using UT300R2U ADSL modem and have a Unlimited 1350 Plus planPlease help me with this - this thing is really irritating.Thanks a lot!
 
Thanks essbebe for your prompt reply - I checked my settings and all appears okAny other ideas that might cause this issue?
 
Confirm PC problem is still there or not.Give more details.Keep Applications at Startup to the minimum.Could be RAM problem.When PC freezes Press ALT+CTRL+DEL keysTask Manager will open. See which application/s is/are not responding.In processes see the CPU usage. 100% ?
 
I can't confirm right now - because it happens randomly.As of now my PC is working fine...I'll check the resource usage while the problem occurs and get back with the details
 
@meetdilip
Did you format the whole PC or only C drive.
If C drive, run a full system scan. Your PC is showing symptoms of a virus infection. You will find some useful tools here


After formatting C drive and the original OS re-loaded,
how to conclude The OS is virus infected ?

I had similar problems. If the dropper is not in the C drive, even if we format C and reinstall Windows, dropper will download malware into other drives. I use format my system very frequently after finding KoolyNoody virus again and again. You need to try a full system scan in that case.
