Taskbar changes colour, then internet disconnects

Question

Hello.

After I connect to the internet, at a random interval (usually from 5 minutes upwards), the 'EN' symbol on the taskbar gets a beige box around it. Then, after about ten seconds, the whole taskbar changes to a beige one (it looks not unlike the '98 scheme). It then will switch back to the XP skin in about 1-2 seconds. My internet disconnects, and when I try to connect back, nothing that needs an internet connection works. What is a bit odd though, is that when I attempt to reconnect, the dial-up box closes, and when I open up the dial-up box again, it says that I am connected to the internet. Usually, when I connect, the taskbar will say 'Internet connected, 7.1Mps' or something like that, but it doesn't after the internet disconnects like this. I also can't open network connections in when this happens.

A short expert summary and practical next steps (builds on the cleanup already done by following ’s suggestions).

The quick UI flip to a “classic” look then back usually means Explorer (the shell) restarted or Visual Styles fell back — that often coincides with a crash or a shell extension being unloaded. The immediate network loss afterward points to either a local process/driver resetting the network stack or residual software (shell/driver hooks) interfering with both Explorer and networking. The goal is to capture what fails first (Explorer, the network adapter, or a service) and then isolate whether the cause is local or on the ISP side.

Useful, evidence-capturing steps to run now

Boot to Safe Mode with Networking. If the problem disappears there, it is almost certainly third-party software or a shell extension.
Reproduce the failure while logging network state and process errors.
Useful commands to run (before/after a disconnect):

ipconfig /all
ping -t <your-gateway-ip>
ping -t 8.8.8.8
nslookup www.example.com
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset

Check Event Viewer (Application and System) for Explorer or network-related errors at the exact time of the visual change/disconnect. Use Autoruns and ShellExView to temporarily disable non-Microsoft startup items and shell extensions, then reboot and test. Update or reinstall the network adapter/USB-modem driver and try a different machine or a tethered hotspot to see if the fault follows the line or the PC.

If those steps don’t find the cause, collect precise timestamps from Event Viewer and the results of the above commands, then contact the ISP with that evidence (they can check upstream drops and DNS changes). If malware/rootkit is still suspected, do an offline rescue scan or a clean OS repair/restore from a known-good backup. Back up important data before making system-wide changes.

Whew! All of those found were related to FunWebProducts.
1) Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel

2) Double click on Add/Remove Programs

3) Find "My Web Search" in the list of installed programs and click on Change/Remove to uninstall it. You may also want to uninstall any of the following items associated with FunWebProducts.

* My Web Search (Smiley Central or FWP product as applicable)
* My Way Speedbar (Smiley Central or other FWP as applicable)
* My Way Speedbar (AOL and Yahoo Messengers) (beta users only)
* My Way Speedbar (Outlook, Outlook Express, and IncrediMail)
* Search Assistant - My Way

4) Reboot your Computer and run on a Full System Scan. Save the log and post back here with it.

That is fine if none of those programs were found. It was just necessary to check and be certain.
Run HiJackThis again and place check marks next to the following entries:
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: Trixie.Bho - {B0744341-96E0-4341-9ED2-8BC36CE0CCD0} - mscoree.dll (file missing)
All of the O18 - Protocol: listings

Once you have placed the check marks then click the Fix Checked button.
Exit HJT.
Reboot.
Is the problem still happening?

Are you located in the UK? Is your ISP Opal Telecom DSL Network?

Yeah, I've done all the things you've said, and it still came up. The internet survived longer than usual though

I am in the UK, but my ISP is not Opal Telecom DSL Network. It is Talk Talk broadband.

Can you run HJT again and post a new log?

I am in the UK, but my ISP is not Opal Telecom DSL Network. It is Talk Talk broadband.

Well have done some research to try to get you some answers and you may be surprised to read what I found doing a google search;
Talk Talk broadband

TalkTalk is the landline telephone and ISP business of The Carphone Warehouse which acquired Opal Telecom in November 2002.
In 2006 TalkTalk launched a promotion offering free broadband. The promotion attracted criticism when demand outstripped supply and the network systems were unable to cope with the consumer response.

So, yes whether you knew it or not your ISP IS Opal Telecom DSL Network. After reading various links I honestly wonder if the disconnect does not lie with your ISP. Have you called them and asked?

Now read the rest of this from the above noted link, I found it somewhat concerning:

In early 2008 it was announced that the ISP arm of Talk Talk had entered into a contract (along with BT and Virgin Media) with the former spyware company Phorm (responsible under their 121Media guise for the Apropos rootkit)to intercept and analyse their users' click-stream data, and sell the anonymised aggregate information as part of Phorm's OIX advertising service. The practice, which has become known as "data pimping", came under intense fire from various internet communities and other interested-parties who believe that the interception of data is illegal under UK law (RIPA). At a more fundamental level, many have argued that the ISPs and Phorm have no right to sell a commodity (a user's data) to which they have no claim of ownership.

You might also read this post I found too;
.... TalkTalk / Opal Telecom a good idea?

Hmm, that is quite surprising. Are you suggesting that instead of a virus, my internet disconnects because of Opal? I'll phone them up tonight, but if it was anything like the last time I had a conversation with them, I'll be there all night...

You obviously had a huge amount of spyware on the computer which definitely would cause problems BUT look who they are now partnered with.....

former spyware company Phorm (responsible under their 121Media guise for the Apropos rootkit)to intercept and analyse their users' click-stream data, and sell the anonymised aggregate information as part of Phorm's OIX advertising service.

Taskbar changes colour, then internet disconnects
