I have a problem with my connection setting in Internet Explorer. I'm using a dial up and after connecting to the internet and browsing for sometime it hangs and stops responding. I can't even shutdown my computer from the start button so i have to restart from the power. And when i restart again Internet Explorer the connetion setting was already change to "Never Dial A connection" and even if I click "Always dial my Default connection" and connect, again after sometime it hangs, and returns to the same problem. My OS is XP Professional.
Please help, thanks & GOD bless.

Did this just start happening? Were things OK before?

Do you use Spybot S&D?

or AdAware?

Have you run a virus scan?

I see this issue often associated with malware/virus issues.

Things were ok before, I use Kapersky Anti virus software and run it regularly but still having problem.
