Solve : Computer locks when I log on the internet?

Answer»

Can somebody please help? When ever I log onto my dial up connection to get onto the internet, my computer will freeze right up!. This sometimes occure immediately after logging on, or sometimes I can maintain the connection for SEVERAL minutes or longer, but inevitably, it will freeze and lock up. Every TIME. (I have noticed that although the computer locks up the internet connection is maintained)

I have scanned my hard drive for viruses several times since this frist began. I have found and removed 3 different Trojan viruses, as well as 82 pieces of spyware. After all of this , I still have the same problem, although other less bothersome probles have been resolved. Additionally, my task manager has been disabled. I was able to follow some on-line instructions and reenable it, but I still cannot keep my computer from locking up when I get on line. It doesn't matter if I use Explorer or Firefox... Always the same result.. I am running Windows XP home edition. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  

Is It possible that I have a worm or virus that isn't being detected?

Probably a Trojan.  Boot to Safe Mode and perform SCANS.
