    Do you use dial up? In any case maybe check for spyware also, if you dont already have a good scanner for this i recommend spybot seacrh and destroy and Adaware, theyre both good programs and should be downloaded and run on a pretty regular basis

    Well your connection is being hijacked, this used to happen to me. My internet would disconnect, then reconnect using a different username etc. They're basically using your internet connection to host premium rate websites, i would suggest downloading as many spware killers and anti-virus software you can and kill whatever program is doing this. Oh, and check your C drive and temp internet files for any new .exes that may have appeared.
