I got a new computer last month as a present from my parents. They also installed me DSL Internet connection. Then a good friend installed me Torrent software for movie downloading. At the beginning, everything worked fine. Since yesterday, I loose my network. Now my network is back on, but I have painfully slow Torrents.

I am certain that the operating system on your computer is infected with some sort of Downloader or Trojan 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 had to reinstall my operating system several times 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 six months is combination of AVG and Seagate firewall and I do not have any problems. Use AVG to clean all viruses from your computer and then, install Seagate Personal firewall. I think you will be safe enough after that.
