internet problem

Dialup often decays.

Remove it and redo it by running inetwiz in your run box.
wsock32.dll can also become damaged or taken over by some virus.

I just got cable internet yesterday. I can't power of my
computer if the cable modem is still plugged in. If i
try to, using the "shut down" command, the computer just
restarts. If i just power off the modem, that is not
enough...the computer still restarts. I have to
completely unplug the modem to get the computer to turn
off. I've talked to my ISP for assistance, but they said
it was a microsoft problem. Instead of paying $100.00 to
ask a simple question, I thought I'd try this! I'd
appreciate any input!! Thank you...feel free to email me!

========================================
Who told you it would cost $100.00 to talk to Microsoft?
If XP came pre installed on this computer you should first
consult the computer manufacture for support, otherwise it
may cost $35.00 to talk to Microsoft and that fee could be
refunded if no resolution is found,

www.neopets.com. Everytime i try to got there, that

Hello Everyone,
I would be so pleased if anyone could help me with this
infuriating problem. I can normally reset my web homepage
to what ever i want via tools/internet options....but no
matter how many times I do it it constantly reverts it to
a this particular ad-ridden page http://i-lookup.com/. It
is extremely annoying, and if anyone could help me on to
permantly delete this thing so I can set my web page
permantly to google.
My second problem is that I have a toolbar off this
stupid site referring to pornographic links which I
certainly do not want on my computer. Everytime I right
click on the toolbar to get it off it goes, but when i
start a new browser its up again. Could anyone tell me
how I can permantly delete that off my system aswell.
Thanks, any help much appreicated.
Mike

Hi, Mike -

There are a couple of things you can do to remove this
particular irritation. You can download and install Ad-
Aware from

http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download/

and/or Spybot Search and Destroy from

http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?
lang=en&page=download

both are free.

If either method fails or you'd just like to remove the
spyware manually take a look here -

good luck!
