I've had everything from freezing up, closing automatically , warnings or threats, warnings that a virus was found etc etc-----not the problem at all...seems it comes from Windows itself. I get pop ups telling me my computer has been cleaned up and I need to restart, I just close the pop up, you can always tell if it's legit.
Someone said the lines are totally jammed because the 911 anniversary was coming up----I really don't know if this is true or not but I did have my cp checked and all is in order so hard to know where to look for the problem---this puter is 7 yrs old so I decided to buy a new one just to see if it makes a difference, hope it comes in soon, looks like the companies are having trouble getting their orders filled.

Is your service thru Time Warner?
The day after my comp went down, I heard that TimeWarner had a problem with some internet service....

None of the other computers in the house had any problems...But I don't remember if my new comp was 'online' the
day of the outage........

I think that people get antsy and begin to panic before something happens - The Y2K bug/preparation was a good example of people panicking for really nothing?
