I got a new computer last year as a present. On my old computer, I have the problem that several NIC in row dies. They also installed me DSL Internet connection. Few of my neighbors and I bought Belkin DSL router to share that Internet connection. Another friend installed me Torrent software for movie downloading. At the beginning, everything worked fine. Since yesterday, my DSL connection keeps breaking up. It happened again - warranty out, NIC dies.

I do not think that your problem has anything with your NIC or your router. Also, I do not think that you have the problem with the drivers. However, you can find the newest drivers on the manufacturer site. I am certain that your operating system is infected with some virus. Its job is to aloud access to hard drive content on your computer to its owner. Those types of viruses are common on the Internet. I also had to reinstall my OS twice because of torrent using. That was at the beginning. However, from my personal experience I found out what to use for protection. The protection that I have been using for last few months is combination of AVG and Seagate Personal firewall and I do not have any problems. First, use AVG to clean all viruses from your computer and after that, install Seagate firewall. I think you will be safe enough after that.
