Computer help, please? I need it rather quick in case my internet goes out too.

Wow, that is weird. I am no pro, but looked at your attachment. The ports aren't connecting...but why it should do this after two days of being ok is beyond me.

Some programs might need updates, but they should pop up and tell you that.

If your virus scan comes back ok, I would shut down and restart.

I'll send you a link to a really good spyware cleaner too - it's free and better than Ad-Aware.

Good luck! Hope someone can help you more.

I have no idea either.

I think I just updated Yahoo AND MSN.

Okay. I already shut down and restarted once and nothing helped.

Thanks!

Looks liek the software "virtual ports" (as opposed to physical ports) on your comp are unavailable to the messenger service. Could be a number of things, but spyware/malware is a likely culprit

Ad Aware hasn't detected anything yet, and Spybot is just starting up, so hopefully one of them will catch something..

Ad Aware also gave me a message about the ports being unavailable when it tried to update.
