Try uninstalling the VM broadband software [something gear, or gear something? I forget]. You don't need it if you're on proper VM broadband [instead of their "off-net" service that uses BT's network]. The only thing that CD is good for [for people with proper VM BB] is as something to put your coffee mug on!

If you want suggestions for firewall/AV software to use instead of the ones that VM provide, I'd recommend Comodo firewall [free], & Kaspersky Antivirus [not free, but worth it].
