Does anyone else here have a problem with the IE7 Connection box coming up all the time, even when your connected to the internet? I have already googled and sent letters to Microsoft but seeing as they're slow and such, I was just curious if anyone knew what causes this and/or how to fix it.
I just don't wanna have to switch the option to "Never Dial an Internet Connection" all the time if possible. Thankyou!
LOL. I may have just solved my problem myself and only a few minutes after I started this thread hehe.
I did ANOTHER Google search (even though I did it a 1000 times already) and found a new site where ppl on another forum were having the same problem. The cause of the problem was that certain Anti-Virus programs (mine is CA Anti-Virus 2007) are always looking for updates and for my particular Anti-Virus, it keeps wanting to go on the internet to search for 'em, even when i'm online.
So... I changed the update options in CA Anti-Virus to "Do not update automatically". Now as I am writing this, the box hasn't come up! (Joy!) However, I'll just have to make sure to check for updates manually from now on and HOPE that it doesn't come back! 
So in a nutshell, 1 problem down (hopefully) and another zillion to go hehe. Well, actually it's prob 2 or somethin'.
Thankyou... er... Ickis! hehe
PS...
1: I know CA Anti-Virus isn't the best but I'm just using up the rest of my last payment.
2: I'll get Kaspersky next.
3: Which one do YOU use?
4: Worst
5: Thread
6: EVER! lol
LMAO that was funny. I'm using Avast. Fastest Anti-Virus ever? Yes. Yes it is.
Plus you can actually watch it scan incoming emails, P2P files, stuff off flash drives, etc.
Oh, and I think I have an avatar just for you. 
*Cries*... the connection box is back!
Oh, and I think I have an avatar for YOU!
PS. I did not create it and that's not my deviant page. (I don't have one) lol
