Yesterday I began to have problems with my internet only partially working. I first noticed it when pages weren't loading in firefox, or any other browser, but they weren't timing out and telling me that there's no connection. They just sat there in limbo as if trying very hard to find the data it was looking for, not knowing that it couldn't. Trillian also kept randomly disconnecting me, but it still downloaded data from facebook and twitter for new status updates, kinda. Then I logged into an online game I like to play, Guild Wars. It logged me in, I talked to people online, but then I tried to leave the area I was in and the game would log me out with an error saying I lost my connection. So, not sure exactly what I could have done, I did a system restore to the previous day, since it was working then. After that was done, it worked fine, but about 10 minutes in, it stopped working. Now I had to determine the problem. I noticed one windows update in that time. It was a spyware definition for MSE. So I undid that and immediately opened it upon starting my computer. The definitions were out of date, and the internet worked. Sure enough, however, I saw it update and my internet promptly stopped working. So I said screw it, and uninstalled MSE. My internet works flawlessly.
I fell in love with MSE because it's painless, it works, and it's out of the way. It never asks me to upgrade, no manual updates, no notifications unless something's wrong, and even then it's not intrusive. But this...this is intruding. What can I do? I DON'T want to go back to AVG.
