Default any PC virus's kicking about? problem!



I click on my tiscali icon and connect to broadband, after less than a minute i get disconnected and when i come to reconnect everything has gone regarding broadband, so then i reinstall everything, try again and it happens again!

same is happening to my mates PC

Now, im gonna try and upgrade to windows XP pro as thats the online disk i have and see if that helps anything, but is there a virus or anyone else having these problems?

What did your virus scanners report ? And what did the spyware scans report ? I would personally suggest that if you're gonna bite the bullet and wipe it clean and start again, then to do a fresh install of XP rather then upgrade it.
