What operating system are you using (i.e. Windows 7, Mac, Windows 10, etc)? Can you disconnect and reconnect to your internet without sleeping your computer and signing back in?

I don't have Gmail/Google+. I might have Facebook in a few months though.

Firefox ^if that's what you mean...?^ But what takes so long is that this computer keeps shutting off all wifi and the only way I know how to get it to work again is to put it on hibernate and then sign back in. :P
Oh, ok. I really meant like 'windows 7', 'windows XP', etc., but that makes since.

Oh! Windows 7 xP

Then you should be able to disconnect from the internet by going to your control panel and selecting 'network and internet 'and then 'connect to a network'

Windows 7, and no… you know how if there's no wifi in your area it will have a red x over the bars? (If you have the same kind of computer…) It will just suddenly do that, and there's obviously wifi on and I've tried other ways and that's the only thing I can figure out ^Because that's about my extent of computer knowledge xD^

The icon for that should also be displayed on the bottom right of your computer screen on the taskbar.

I don't have a G+ account... :P
Neither do I. Well, actually, yes I do. And you do too. We just don't _use_ them. xP

Haha, well, I actually think I don't have one at all because I signed up for gmail a really long time ago and it keeps telling me to sign up for an account. :P

My computer does the same thing occasionally. Try clicking the icons with the red x over the wifi bars and click the refresh icon on the top right of the window that pops up. Do you have scanners (i.e. cCleaner) that you can run to clean up your computer and remove bugs?

But it may depend on the type of computer as well.

If it's a Windows 7 computer then that's where it is.

I'll try that. I have Norton? And I've had it do full system clean ups, and it hasn't seemed to help, I don't think…

We use the free versions of CCleaner and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and they seem to do the trick for us.

Actually, my Aunt's computer is windows seven, but she has it set so the bar at the bottom is actually down the left side...

That's probably because they moved the taskbar to another side on the screen, but if the taskbar is on the bottom of the screen like it usually is, then that is where it is.

Ah, that's cool! I don't know why we use norton, but I know if you pay for one then you get to put it on however many more computers for free.
