Downloading trobles
What I have:
HP Pavilion dv9548us Notebook PC
[Network Wireless][Netgear Router/Gateway WDNR3300]
Kaspersky Internet Security 8.0.0.506 (KIS 2009)
Windows Defender
Utorrent
Rappidshare Manager
Flash-Got
I can surf the internet and download though a browser as normal. But I can not download via P2P programs, accelerators or rather my download manager programs as I could last week. I have no idea what has changed since last week.
I suspected a virus or malware so I did several scans (including online)... clean, no viruses or malware. I checked my internet security program and even disabled it... no difference. Windows System Restore was not help either.
The ports used by certain programs like UTorrent program say they are blocked when tested, but the ports appear to be free when I look at them through the Curr Ports program.
I have some knowledge, but limited knowledge, so I must be missing something... any ideas on what I can do?

Thanks for the replies
Start/Run/MSCONFIG
Then run System Restore and restore to an earlier date, like last week.
System restore is also available with Start/Programs/Accessories
It's often easier to simply restore to something that worked, rather than try to diagnose what changed.
I've done this to simply save time. Data is not affected, and you can return to the current restore point if things don't change, or go to an even earlier restore point.
Hope this helps.
