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

Thanks, Kalei.

It's storming here too and the internet usually screws up then. Could that have anything to do with it?

Being that the connection itself is fine and you're just having problems with certain programs, I doubt it.

I was just asking because we had a storm before and I think only MSN went out.

[Kalei]

Yeah storms can definately cause connections to go out, but in your case it doesn't seem to be that, otherwise you wouldn't even me able to go onto PT. Sometimes messengers can be jerks. I know mine doesn't always work either. It's annoying.

Ugh. Stupid internet.

I wish these scans would hurry. The lights are flickering.

What kind of storm is it? I hope that you'll be okay.

A suggestion before you try to use the messenger programs again:

Unplug the computer from the network connection.

There are some malware programs that can block the functionality of some A/V and spyware removal tools. If you disconnect the network they don't work.
