Kerry,
I did do most of the things you have suggested except flash routher
bios...didnt know about that. Matter of fact I gave up and am only working
with one computer at a time...one is horriably taken over and not being used
for ANYTHING important.
The one computer I am working with is not and has not been connected to the
router for quite a while. The router firewall log is how I found the problem
in June that caused me to disconnect and start again.
The software I install BEFORE connecting to internet is WinXP sp2and McAfee
Security Suite 7. I then have to used the motherboard software CD to update
the network card. I have the Microsoft book: Windows SP Inside Out and use
it to disable services not needed. Then I turn off automatic updates and
connect the the internet and update McAfee. Then I update WinXP.
I have a list of some of the IPs needed to be blocked and block them before
going online. Still I notice activity happening shortly after going online.
This is why I am wondering if somehow MY internet IP has somehow connected
somewhere "out there" that automaticaly connects the computer and writes
something to the registery. I don't have much registery knowledge. I have
been reading through the registery and searching for help on the internet as
I go along.
I do believe something actually installs itself and rewrites .dll's because
the dll's used are WinXP.
Thank you for your help...keep sending suggestions...I will update!
