Internet keeps freezing - Help required please
Just lately I am having a regular occurence where my internet appears to freeze and not respnd.
The only solution I find is to restart the PC, but this sometimes is problematical also and I have to shut down by holding the power button on. Sometimes the browser page that I am on 'clouds' over when this happens (ie when it freezes). Task Manager will not close the browser application, and I can get it with Firefox, Opera and IE. When it first occured there had been a couple of windows updates, and I wondered if this had caused the problem, but sys restore would not go back either! Re-installing the browser/s does nothing beneficial. I am connected to my ADSL router via an ethernet cable, and the connectiion from my router to the ISP is ok - I can still access the internet on my wireless laptop while I have the problem on my desktop PC, so the problem appears to be a system one. I am running Vista Home Premium. I can't get to the bottom of this and any help would be much appreciated.

Try disabling zonealarm.
Also, does it happen everytime you try and load a particular website? Run ccleaner and let it delete all temporary files.

Thanks shadowpr, no, it just occurs and not necessarily when loading a site.
I have run ccleaner, and will disable ZA and see how we go. |
