This is on a Vista upgraded to a Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E6550 2,33 Ghz and 2 GB RAM.
After the upgrade to Windows 7 I have the impression that the PC is faster, but IE 8 hangs frequently.
After a more or less short time the Internet connection slows down and hangs completely at the end: waiting for http://www.bleepingcomputer.com or website found. Waiting for reply... and nothing goes... When one Window or Tab hangs the others are doing the same
I still can send and receive e-mails however. Another PC (XP) on the same DSL box works fine and opens the addresses which don't work anymore on the Windows 7 PC. I've switched the LAN cables - didn't help
Rebooting the PC is the only way. I had similar problems on this PC with Vista, (I blamed Vista) but I have the impression that it was not so often.
I went thru this: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic87058.html - didn't bring me any further.
The PC is protected by Avast Free. I'm using Spybot, Ad-Aware and Spywareblaster. On Vista I used Zonelabs Firewall, but I uninstalled it before upgrading to Windows 7 - so far I didn't yet install it again.
Although I do not think that there is any malware I followed the steps as requested here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/ind...rnet+connection
As I expected nothing dramatic was found - the problem still persists.
What else can I do? Are these incidents logged somewhere?
Any help will be much appreciated
Many thanks
Bob
