FINAL THOUGHT....I advised the use of PG2 earlier...USE IT....and I hope to God you have a firewall (NOT the windows one) and are using it...it wouldn't surprise me at all if you are being attacked by the MAFFIA and are feeling the effects of it if you have no protection (I'd rather walk down the stree naked as opposed to going online without a firewall and on a public network without PG2 also)
