My internet connection is being "wierd"

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 04-07-2005, 11:14 PM

I can get on AIM fine but when I try to go to a website on IE, to takes a long time to load or doesnt load at all. Then when I tried to see if there was any updates avaible for my virus protection (Just checking to see if I could connect to the internet through Norton Anti-Virus) it said it couldn't loaded or some shit

It just worked now, obviously, but its been off and on since i've been online for like the past 45 minutes.

Run Adaware, I had a similar problem, but once I ran that program (in safe mode) I was fine. Bunch of spyware and other shit slowing me down.

That file from that link was working great up until last night when I got a virus update. So I downloaded the file Bad Company linked again after I got the virus update but my IE is still acting up. I don't know what the deal is. Really fucking annoying though.

Computers are so dumb, for something so "high tech" they sure do fuck up a lot

Yeah same thing has been happening to me past couple of days. Maybe it's something in our area.

**Buzzkill** · 04-14-2005, 01:15 AM

Same thing is happening to me too. AIM works fine, but IE and Firefox won't work.

I use Comcast, what about you guys?

**Funky Fly** · 04-14-2005, 05:05 PM

Firefox has been fucking up for me lately and I am also on Comcast. It's not the internet connection though, because I use voice over IP for phone service, so no net means no phone, and my phone still works.

Probably some retarded new virus or spyware. SecureIE appears to be fine though.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 04-16-2005, 12:24 PM

Working fine now - the same shit was happening though. AIM was fine but IE wouldn't work. Weird.

ITS ALL GOOD NOW THO..knock on wood

**JokerFace** · 04-17-2005, 06:50 PM

Stima, do you use Comcast High Speed Internet? If so, you're not alone. All the Comcast users in the Chicagoland area had the same problem as you, including myself.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 04-29-2005, 11:08 PM

Yep just found out it was a comcast related problem - Good stuff I guess, atleast i know my computer is fine.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 05-12-2005, 12:02 AM

Is GAYcast doing something else now? Doing it again....about to switch to RCN. Comcast fucking sucks. MediaOne was the shit, ever since it became AT&T then Comcast it has been fucking weak.
