I am not used to analysing Hi Jack logs but I notice at the bottom that you have a USB network adaptor.

Youre connecting via ethernet arent you and the other pcs connect wirelessly to your router so theres no need for you to have that installed and running on yours.
That may explain why you are geting so many network connection attempts if its constantly trying to connect wirelessly  :?

Unless youre the host pc for the wi fi pcs to connect through then uninstall and unplug it.

I notice you have Limewire, Sarah, and loading at startup too.

I got rid as all I got was loads of spyware and trojans from limewire.

Well spotted, Lona!  Unless it's the Pro version, I believe Limewire does contain spyware, and personally, I wouldn't recommend having any P2P program running at start up, as it's then on all the time, using resources.  Wouldn't think it would be the cause of constant disconnections, though.

Its only on the start up because i couldn't be bothered to change it when i re-installed it! I will change everything back once i get the problems sorted. I don't get any spyware from limewire anyway, its pretty well behaved.

It's not what you download from it, Sarah, Limewire used to contain spyware within the program itself, which is why the Pro version was more sought after.  Maybe it doesn't now - I haven't used it for a while.  In any case, this is probably sidetracking from your problem.  Unless, of course, it's responsible for your multiple connection attempts.  :)

Hi all,
Thought i'd give it a few days to see how my pc goes and it now seems to be running fine!
And to think, none of this would have happened if Dixons would have done their job properly!
Thanks a lot for all your help, i don't know what i would have done without the help from you guys (Except waste a load of money on a new PC only for it to probably happen to that one!).
