ipconfig.exe?

My internet connection keeps shutting on and off every 10 seconds or so. I opened Windows Task Manager and noticed that this program called ipconfig was popping up exactly when my internet connection would shut down and then after a second or two, would terminate and my internet connection would return. So I searched for this program and found that it was in the folder C:/Windows/System32.

Originally, I just moved ipconfig.exe out of the folder and that seemed to fix the internet connection. However, now this program keeps appearing even after I delete it so I cant keep a constant internet connection. What's going on?

Thanks for the help!

Go to start -> run -> type this, msconfig -> go to the start up tab. Then simply post the names of each thing here. Or you could just run hijackthis and post a log.

I would suggest scanning your computer for spyware and viruses.

Download these, update them and scan your computer:
Ewido
Ad-Aware SE
Spybot Search & Destroy
Microsoft Antispyware

I would also go to Trend Micro and do the online scans.

With the "???" a hijack log could help us alot to decipher those... but yeah definitely do as we said... run the programs phubeone suggested, fix what they say, then post a hijackthis log.

well, I disabled a few of the things you told me to, and now my internet connection is fine...for now. Hopefully it stays that way.

Thanks to Blitze and phubeone!

I would still run those scans, spyware comes back if not cleaned and they usually multiply.

cli = command line interface ( keep that ) Launch pad = Ati startup bar ( keep that ) CursorXP = stardock thing for custom cursors ( keep that ) DSAgnt sound like it could be a Dr.Watson program but im not sure so disable it an if you find that somethings not running right you can re-enable. As for the ipconfig.exe thats a DOS command that lets you configure ips manually............its not a program so it sounds more like spyware/virus/trojan. Some things you can try are go into msconfig an look for that under services ( you can try disabling it ) or do a regedit an see what it falls under..........if its something odd like pr0nfiles

or something then its definently a virus. Other than that try getting a virus scanner or spyware remover.
