My pc is a Gateway performance 933 I live in an area where there is only dial-up. My connection was fine until 2 mo. ago then I was getting booted as soon as I got connected. My daughter hooked up her computer & was online for a couple hours with no problems. So I know it is not the line. She also took my tower to town to hook up to high-speed through ethernet & it was online a couple hours with no problems. So I know it's not the line or the computer..She replaced the modem (which I had replaced not long before) and it worked great..for about a week then I was getting booted almost instantly again. She replaced the modem yesterday & I was able to stay online but it was barely moving,(saying I was connected at 31,000bps) so she moved it to another PCI slot & the speed shot right back up(connected at 28,000) for a couple hours..Now it took me 20 min. just to get to yahoo answers...I manually changed the modem speed from 11 million to 38,000..no change, have plenty of memory, any ideas?

My computer has no spyware or viruses. So I am running out of possibilities.

I had this problem awhile back, I bought 2 different modem, before the last one finally worked.
Do you think maybe you have a viruse, spyware, etc.?

Just buy another functional computer, in which I mean, replace it. It might not be the modem's fault, the computer might just be having trouble receiving the proper signals from the Internet connection, but, I'll recommend you contacting your ISP with this Information, the only problem to this calamity is that you haven't contacted a Professional for help.
