    Dear Reader,
    Lately(The last month or two), my internet has been shutting down when I run KAG and open up 'Browse Servers'. I was wondering whether it was a virus or something of the sort. Please respond if you can help.

    Check if there is an updated wireless driver for your computer. If there is, install it. Also, try (TEMPORARILY) turning off your antivirus programs you have on your computer, and then running KAG. Then post back about whether or not either of those worked. (if it's an antivirus/firewall issue, it's better to fix the actual issue than leave it off, but easier to check for an issue by just turning it off)

    That not a virus.

    Re-install the game.
    Update wireless drivers.
    Shut down antiviruses / Firewalls.
    And if your brother, your mother or other have an USB WiFi key, pick it up, and use it.
    If it don't work...
    Use Ethernet cable to connect with wire to your box.

    Try ethernet, probably using an old/bad/cheap router that can't handle UDP or anything above 1 pps

    Thanks, I think it's either an old one or just cheap. I'll try using a cable to connect my pc/box.

    Obviously, but that doesn't mean you should rule it out. Sometimes antivirus can go a little overboard on protection. Symantec has accidentally sent out updates before that would quarantine system files and break your computer.

    Anyway, I had an experience where my AVG was interfering with the updater for Minecraft, and it wasn't a firewall issue either. As soon as I shut the resident shield off, it worked just fine. I thought it could be a possibility here.
