With IE, it'll work fine for a while, but at random times, when I open a new tab, it'll say Connecting... but nothing ever pops up. When that happens any new tabs that I open will have Connecting... and nothing shows up. I have to close IE and then open it again to fix it.
With Firefox, it takes really long to open new pages and to switch tabs. I've scanned my computer for viruses and spyware, and I've also reinstalled both browsers, but the problems don't go away. |

Do you have any toolbars that are installed that may cause lag?
My advice is let the Malware Team take a look: First follow the steps here, then post your HiJackThis log here and begin the troubleshooting. Good luck and I'm here to help if you need it just reply to this topic and I'll get an email others will be here to help as well so don't worry.  -------------------- Hi, I'm a huge fan of technology and I hope to help anyone I can to understand technology.

I got the Malware Team to look at it, and they said my computer is clean.
I only have the StumbleUpon toolbar installed. |
