    My internet connection drops every 5-10 minutes. I have ran Spybot, Ad-aware, ran other scans for Malware etc and been on Hijack this forums, removed harmful software and yet the probem persists.
    The problem was happening with my Cable Broadband connection, now I'm on an ADSL broadband connection and the connection is still dropping. I have contacted the ISP and they have been unable to solve this for me. I considered the possibility that there may be electrical interference however the telephone line is perfectly fine, my mother can sit on the phone for 1-2 hours talking nonsense and she never gets disconnected or experiences distortion of any sort.

    I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out what is going on.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
