Problem with music download

[Armando]

I use eMule v0.46c to download music, but the problem is that whenever I start it up and connect, my internet starts failing shortly afterward. I have wireless internet and whenever I try to use eMule the connection fails and comes back and fails again and comes back. I don't know what the cause is or how to fix it.

Any and all help is appreciated.

This only happen when you run the eMule? Not other applications? Have to try to run the same program on another computer?

[Armando]

Yes, it only happens when I run eMule.

It didn't happen for the first weeks after I downloaded it [eMule]. It started happening about 3 weeks ago and it won't let me be connected for more than 5 minutes, it will just disconnect.

I've used it on friend's computers and it worked just fine.

Do you have virus protection?

I've downloaded several over time and run scans from time to time.

Now and a regular schedule would be safer, especially if you are venturing into P2p danger land.....

[Armando]

Well is therea anything you recommend I get?

Perhaps a safer music download program?

[Fed]

That would depend on your Operating System, too bad it's a secret.

Microsoft Windows XP

I'm having no problems with these & they're all free  
Sygate Firewall, AVG Antivirus, M$oft Antispyware, Spybot + TeaTimer.

[Armando]

I don't really like the Sygate Firewall

I've used all the others at one point, nothing fixed the problem.

Could it be something with my internet connection for some reason?

[Flame]

If you don't like Sygate use ZoneAlarm.

No point going any further unless your computer is clean.
You downloaded 'several' and used the 'others' from time to time then I guess all you can do is live with it.
Good luck to you, Bye!

If what you want to do is remove the problem, solutions have been posted. Then remove the firewall. Let us know AFTER the system is cleaned, preferably in safe mode.

[Armando]

Well I ran
• CWShredder
• Lavasoft's Ad-Aware
• Spybot S&D
• Grisoft AVG Free

And lots of problems were found and dealt with. As I posted in another thread, the only unresolved problems were 4 trojans (dialer 23) which could not be removed as they were part of files.

I will run it again in safe mode then remove my firewall and see if my eMule actually works.
