pookie170 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Has anyone got any idea as to why my PC keeps asking me for a weird number and password when I go online? Its like a DSL router number (I have only the vaguest idea of what that is!) and a password it wants me to put in...... It doesn't happen all the time, but a few minutes ago, I had to disconnect from the net, then reconnect to stop it doing this to me! What on earth does the blessed thing want from me, and where might I find the info it's demanding so rudely of me??? Help!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad cat lady Report post Posted April 5, 2009 Can't really tell without seeing it and your security set-up, Do you have WEP security set up on your machine/router already? if not a (microsoft) security update or other update recently installed may be wanting you to configure this. Another alternative is that it is nothing to do with your security, but could be virus/spyware related, make sure all your microsoft security updates are installed, your virus software is up to date and run a full system scan. Next time the message appears copy it and post a picture (if you can) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
