Almost straight away the wireless connection started dropping out. So I closed firewall in McAfee and Open Up Windows Vista Firewall.Īfter using Avast for a while I thought I would try AVG again, as I prefer it for some reason. ![]() I then read that Zone Alarm caused many problems with Vista and that if you use a Wireless Router with Security, then Vista Firewall is sufficient for a Firewall. I prefer AVG but thought I would try Avast. No problems at all so after a day or so, I then put on Avast. This I did, but this time I used McAfee and started to install programmes one by one.įirst I loaded Spy bot, this worked fine. The Acer Help desk could only suggest restoring to factory settings. Programmes would freeze particualrly Firefox and Internet Explorer and Ctr Alt Del would not close them. I got a new Vista laptop a week ago, I did what I normally do, that is got rid of McAfee and installed AVG8, Zonealarm and Spybot.Īfter a while I started noticing the wireless indicator would drop internet connection and keep local connection to other computers. Just thought I would post this to help anyone else who is having trouble with wireless connection drop outs and programmes freezing with only a hard reboot fixing the problem.
