Well my friend, it very well could be. You see, I am not a very computer-savvy guy. I do not understand these damn machines and I am very limited in what I can do. The thing is, for the last month or so, my computer has been acting up with the SAME problem; it keeps kicking me off my wireless connection! I have to constantly re-connect. I have NO idea what is going on but this may be the problem..

I have AVG, and yesterday AVG had moved about a dozen infections to the 'virus vault'. From there I threw them out. These things scare me as I just got this thing back!!!

You can buy compressed air to clean between the keys, just don't come too close or it can "blow them of"
Good luck
