Sometimes the second try works, sometimes not.. I tried calling my DSL isp provider. They checked it out. The speed is fine 6.0 but did not have any solution. I tried powering down the modem and computer and unplugging. but the problem persists.
Any thoughts for non techie? No hardware was added or removed in t he home.

I appreciate you taking the time to help me. I've given up.I do not hold you responsible for this intrusion. I do appreciate your help. Not many out there that will help. What should I do? Give up and say okay to have internet reinstalled? Probabily another $50 to $100. I can"t afford that. Thats why I signed up with Webroot. Obviously, that didn't work. The computer is less than 30 days old. Really? Now, Webroot says "they can't help me?" Not your fault. Frustrated. Going to look for another avenue for help. I can't continue to pay for hackers when that's what I paid for. The hackers are smarter than Webroot.
Already have powered down. Left the computer of for a few hours. Rebooted. I give up.
Hi ddingledine
Are you able to try a "System Restore"?
Click Start button, type "System Restore" without the quotes, hit enter. After System Restore dialog opens click next and choose a date that was before you had trouble. Click next and then Finish. Allow restore to complete. Computer will reboot itself.
