OK, I've hesitated to post this...just in case. But apparently I've
fixed my computer problem (intermittent internet connection).
Got a cheap network card from Radio Crap. Installed it, and I've been
using it constantly since 3 pm.
NO INTERNET GLITCHES!
I also found yet another spy program (Media Motor) on my computer which
McAfee, AdAware, and SpybotS&D missed entirely. I had downloaded
several other spyware programs and a program called XoftSpy caught it.
It wouldn't remove it however and so I dug around on the web (once a
decent connection was restored) and found instructions for manual
removal. I had to search for about 30 registry keys in addition to
deleting a couple of files.
Anyway all spyware-detection programs are now coming up clean, my system
is faster than it's been for a long time, and both Firefox and IE are
working correctly and quickly with none of the interrupts whatsoever
that I was experiencing before.
Turns out also that there wasn't a separate network card on my PC. I
hadn't opened up the box in years so I had forgotten -- it's integrated
on the motherboard. But it was still easy to pop the new one in,
install the driver, and turn the other one off.
I'm in business! Thanks to all who helped!
