My browser sometimes redirects to 0x61.com and then my download speeds drop to about 0.45mbps. it is super annoying and spybot and avg can't identify any issues. Additionally I use a wireless router between my modem and desktop? Am I vulnerable to attack? And evidently most of my ports are visible and not truly stealthed...what can I do to fix that?

OD,

After a third call to linksys and doing some research, I found out that my MTU settings were not optimal. I reset the router to an appropriate setting for my router. It seems all is back to normal.

Again, your assistance is appreciated! Thanks for keeping things simple for me!
