Problem is though chances are the casue of the memory leak could also be spyware or worse yet a virus :o
True enough. Though in my case, the biggest drain on memory was Norton Antivirus. :rolleyes: (there was a memory card reader attached, and every few seconds Norton would check to make sure there wasn’t anything in it and that there weren’t any viruses ‘leaking’ through… Disabled the reader; all fine. :))

Meh Panda is by Symnatec and I find them great.. especially 24/7 customer support. Good for when downloading porn and getting lots of viruses late at night :P
ahem… anyway..
I dont like Norton. Had them once and they were the suck.
Only ever had one problem with Panda in three years. Albeit for the only problem it was a big annoyance.. Norton basically stopped my computer connecting to my network printer. I can still get online through the network but cant share files. Bit of a pain and despite swapping about 20 emails with customer care still havent found a fix!

Make sure you have all of your BT Broadband credentials, i.e. username & password as well as the installation disk.
Go to the Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Scroll down and find everything associated with ‘BT’ Broadband.
Uninstall everything. Once your unable to find any entries in the ‘Add or Remove Programs’ list associated with BT (usually BT is somewhere in the title) disconnect the modem (USB cable) and restart the PC.
When it reboots, stick the origonal installation disk in and follow the on screen instruction (only plug the modem back into the USB port when prompted to do so or this will cause the setup to fail) as you would of when you first recieved it.
The problem you describe are very common for BT and I’ve had to do this for a few friends, try to avoid the shite tech support as you’ll speak to some guy in India.
If you do all of the above as I’ve described you should find your internet connectivity returns to normal.
cheers mate i will try that :)
