Lady Lyuba Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 And it is affecting ALL my browsers. While I will go through a period where it won't keep resetting, it suddenly switches to resetting my connection every few minutes or worse, seconds, and being unable to load any pages. I ran into this issue on deviantART earlier today, and again when feeding my side account Neopets at the Soup Kitchen. This HAS to be a virus of some sort. Why does my connection keep resetting and interrupting and cutting off the loading of pages? What kind of virus is this and what do I need to do to get rid of it? P.S: This has occurred since I updated and relaunched Google Chrome, and not even clearing my cache helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 It doesn't sound anything like a virus. But you do what you always do when you suspect there is a virus: a virus scan. Sounds more like router problems. If it only happened today, it could be transient. jurassicshark and Rune Valentine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 You can call your Internet provider and and ask them for help too. They might have ideas of what could cause that, and it could have been a problem on their part too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D305 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Like mentioned above it doesn't sound like a virus. You still would want to rule it out though, so do a virus scan or two. As it doesn't seem like it's happening more than just today it's most likely a connection issue. The suggestions above are on point. Check your router and make sure if you're wired; that nothing is loose, as it could just be a cable or actual router issue that is causing the hiccup. If you're wireless, it could just be the signal. Also could be an ISP issue on their end, so giving them a call could help. They could also give suggestions as xepha said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_T Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Yes, In Internet some virus is there whose installed with the file and changed the browser setting also effect on the computer setting. One of the example is a Babylon search tool bar. When you install the online dictionary the Babylon search tool bar automatically in your browser and changed the setting of your browser and it is not easily removed. For preventing from these viruses you need to use a good full version antivirus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
