On my home computer, the computer either freezes up before it logs on to the MSN network, or repeatedly disconnects and redials without logging on. I have a dial-up connection. This began about a week ago. I have run Spybot, Adaware, and the cwshredder or sweeper or whatever you call it. I have also done a complete virus scan (Norton). Nothing has been detected. The virus definitions were current as the the date the problem began. I had not updated Spybot definitions for about 3 weeks, and Adaware (*blush*) was last updated in June. I ran a diagnostic on the modem and it checks out. And the 'puter ties-up the phone line so no calls can be made.

Any clues, suggestions or commiseration?
