Internet closed down?

[Brengirl]

For the past few days my internet connection keeps freezing when I want to open GYO. I have done a scan but cannot find any malware. Is it just me or is a general problem?

[zazen999]

Mine's fine; but if it is a general problem; then people probably won't be able to answer [as they can't log in...].

Have you tried different browsers?

[Bigmallly]

Fine here as well Bren......Im using IE @ work, will check when I get home as I'm using chrome there.

Sometimes I find it is really slow, Brengirl - that's when I decide the hamster is getting tired and it is probably time for me to log off!!
I use internet explorer too.

[Brengirl]

Yep it has been slow but now Internet Explorer just closes down. I have tried Task Master to no avail. I have to restart

Mine's been OK, but while I was staying with my daughter and using her computer I had problems with Internet Explorer. What antivirus programme do you use?

[Brengirl]

I use AVG free but I am about to try Avast to see if they find anything.

[Brengirl]

I give up!! I have uninstalled AVG free but the instructions for installing another are so convoluted I don't know what box to tick. Thinks me may have to find a man that knows. BEWARE I am now the source of all that is contagious

[zazen999]

I'd try a different browser before you muck about with antiviruses....

avg has turned into a big bunch of poo lately. If you use it with zonealarm it stops pages from loading unless you check or uncheck, depending on what's checked, 'enable active surf shield' in the link scanner bit....

Mine is fine. I am using Google Chrome today (sometimes I use Firefox Mozilla or Internet Explorer) and I have Norton Antivirus.

(((I hope stating what I use doesn't leave me open to infectious diseases!!! )))

do you have vista, my lap top with vista does this regulary with this site others and sometimes just trying to get on the internet. our other one on xp and our big pc also on xp never has any problems. if its vista, we usually find pulling the lead out and putting it back in straight away, while restarting the computer usually rights the problem. our friend a computer technician says a vista seems to have trouble reading the wirless technology to run the internet proberly when there is a bit of static build, and our systems seem to show this is the case hope it helps.

there are so many reason this could be happening
your av is just one of many possibilities

1. your browser, by trying a different browser you can rule this out i.e firefox
2. Your Internet Service supplier may be having problems (not much you can do)
you can trace the route to see if there are any routing problems
3. your puter may me feeling tired and unloved (registry harddisk memory issues)
try defrag, error check harddisks
4. wireless issues you can always rule this one out by plugging your PC directly to the router

you can always turn the computer on and off again (I had to mention it as it is the first commandment in the Computer Engineers Bible)
