Adsl Modem Does Not Work

[reminder]

Hi

One of my friend has an adsl connection. The internet connection has been working fine. But now when ever he starts the connection, after sometimes a popup appears with a counter. The counter counts for a minute and then the internet stops working. Other times, the internet connection does not work all together.

I believe he has got a virus. What do u guys think:? what could be the remedy

Yes it could be a Virus. So scan ur friends comp and anfter u scan his comp and if he still cant connot than call the the Internet Provider's Tech Support

when u say "scan", do u mean scan with anti-virus tools

I was also just thinking of installing mydoom patch from microsoft

also after searching for viruses, use spysweeper to search for spyware.
