If I have undetected malware in my system and from dial-up I pass to fast internet.
I lost my first p/c because of trojans about a couple of years ago and when I bought the new one I started from the very first moment to suffer the same way. In the first system I did not use antivirus or firewall the first years I surfed, about 1998 that is, as then the security programs weren't so well known. I used Norton Internet antivirus and Zone Alarm firewall as they were the best to me around 2000-2005.
In November 2005 I had the total blackout of my system, luckily I had saved my data in a memory stick.
I bought another system with Windows XP and I had immediately blackout with and because of Norton alerts, I restored it to the purchase date and installed Nod32 and ZAP and continued to exist, but trojans did not stop to invade, I find them occasionally with Netscape antispyware check (before to be discontinued) Adaware or Spybot but others, undetected, still exist and provoke problems in my p/c.
I gave up with this struggle and just use my p/c when and the way trojans let me do it.
But now, from dial-up I must go to ADSL for money reasons and I wonder how this trojan problem could react with ADSL.
Have absolutely no idea if passing to fast internet would for instance automatically erase trojans or on the contrary if trojans in the ADSL could simply stop me from connecting permanently.
There is rather no way to clean my system for good, I'm absolutely passimist about that.
So, the question is IF I HAVE UNDETETCTED MALWARE IN MY SYSTEM AND GO TO ADSL (FAST INTERNET) HOW THIS MALWARE WILL AFFECT MY CONNECTING TO THE NET?
