So, I'm back again. This time, my internet connection is the one to talk about.
It was after replying to a post here in avast forums that I've left the computer idle for 15 minutes cause I'll eat. I decided to go back & turn it off since I'll be taking more time. So, a few more minutes passed, then, after logging in, I felt a big lag, then a balloon tray notification reported that PC has limited or no connectivity. It took me hours to solve this one. I scanned using MBAM & SAS, disable startup entries ine by one, and, the last resort, uninstall programs one by one. By the time I reached avast, I selected repair but didn't work so, I tried uninstall. Surprisingly, it worked.
What could be causing this? I'm running it on a XP SP3 machine.
