somebody help! my pc hangs immediatly after connecting to internet! Mine is a dial up connection 56kbps modem. it comes to normal only after 10 - 15 mins.

Internal or external modem?

If external, is it USB or Serial?

It is an internal modem connected via telephone!

hi there if you scan for adware prior to connecting to phone line
even now I always scan for adware before and after surfing net.
I never leave my phone line connected to computor when not there.
when you next get on line down load lavasoft adware
its free.

Thanks a lot! I hope it will help me a lot with ur suggestion!

is it a anti virus software? is some virus attacking my system? or.... what else?

hi there
no its not an anti virus
its adware it clears the traking cookies.
which send there information out first before
allowing your computor to run.
avg or avast are good virus checkers.

If you're unsure of the exact modem you possess, download, install, and run Everest Home Edition on this machine. (Clean FreeWare)

This program will provide all the details you need to identify your modem.

Note also that the Universal Driver package for (XP and down) should suffice.
