Modem stops working

Every once in a while I have to run down to my basement to reset my modem, because my internet goes down. I think this is caused by p2p sharing like limewire any way to get my modem to not shut off?

If you have limewire you are most likely infected. I would do a clean up. click here and follow the instructions.

You also may have a non malware problem with your modem. Do you have the chance to try a different working modem on your system ? Do you have other computers at home that can go online ? Are they experiencing the same problem ?

Note: we do not provide p2p software support unless you want to remove them. So please do not ask questions about limewire.

Does your modem have adequate air circulating around it - especially around the vents? I had a modem over heating problem that caused my internet to go down every so often.
