Alright, very strange problem that I'm guessing is related to spybot/teatimer since that's the only thing I've downloaded recently. I've ran one immunization and denied one registry change (don't remember what) before the problem, so either could be the cause. Also, I have wireless linksys on this computer.

Problem: My wireless connection strength is good, but only occasionally goes through. Both firefox and IE mostly don't load web pages, but I can get it to load if I click refresh 10 or so times. Even then it may only load half the page and give up. AIM seems to work fine, but maybe it just sends the messages during the few seconds its up. It seems spasmatic(if that's a word), like it'll work for 2 seconds, then not work for 5 seconds, then work for 3, ect. I've tried resetting my router, port forwarding, turning off my firewalls, and I've uninstalled and re-installed spybot. I've also tried "undo" in immunize with no luck, and all the tabs under TeaTimer settings are blank. Anyone know what this could be or how I could fix it?

I have no idea what might be causing your problem. However in regard to the following statement:


… I'm guessing is related to spybot/teatimer … and denied one registry change (don't remember what) before the problem …
The activities related to TeaTimer are logged in the Resident.log file. There are several ways to access the Resident.log file:
Right click on the TeaTimer (Spybot-SD Resident) system tray icon and select Show Log.
Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools > View Reports > View Previous reports. Select the Resident.log file and open it.
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the Resident.log file located in one of the following directories:
Windows 95 or 98:
C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
Windows ME:
C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
Windows Vista:
C:\ProgramData\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
