Ok, got some weird shit going on with my computer. Could be three problems, could all be related, no clue. Worse yet, it's a Dell...so their tech support is useless unless you speak Indian or Paki. Called my ISP, first time they said I could have a virus or spyware...I've ran every check I can, and can't find anything wrong, still the problem(s) persist. Second one said that my ethernet card was going bad...but someone, I don't see that causing this stuff. If anyone knows what could cause any of this, please let me know....
- Random pages won't display. Surfing the 'net, things are fine, then every 4th or 5th (sometimes more, sometimes less) link that I click on...I get page not found. Refresh 2, 3, 4+ times...and the page displays. Happens on various types of sites...from adult to Google & IMDB.
- Sporadically won't check e-mail. In Outlook Express, I have 10 e-mail accounts. It'll check them all...next time, it will check all but 2 or 3, then all again, then 2 or 3...but not the same 2 or 3.
- Favicons in my Bookmarks (FireFox) changing to Yahoo. Not the links, just the favicons next to them. Right now, I have 3 sponsors showing Yahoo logos next to their names in my Bookmarks.
Anyway, if anyone knows what's going on...or have had any of this happen to you...please let me know. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help!
