is it possible for a modem and or router to get a virus, malware, trojan horse or the like. all of us have noticed our service slowing down lately, and my desktop, and my sons are acting very strange as well. i have unplugged and disconnected the modem and router a couple of times, the last time was a full 5 minutes that i had both of them disconnected. with no noticeable difference afterward. my desktop is running so hard when i start it, that it takes over 2 full minutes for the task master to even respond to ctrl, alt, del. and it kept running crazy hard for a good 5 minutes. i could not get anything to open. and i have had the internet disconnected for the last 24 hours. earlier today, i started it in safe mode, and did a bunch of scans trying to get it right again. i ran 2 different registry scan with repair tools. my sons is so bad, he is going to just do a complete system replacement. he really does not keep much on his computer, unlike me. i am going to try to start my computer, and copy as many files as i can. if our router and or modem have a problem however, our problems will be far from over.
