Hello, I have been having problems with my internet browsers for a month and a half or so. as of right now I have 51.7 GB of free memory. When I open any of the browsers, (IE, Netscape, Mozilla) the home page open and load properly. However, when going to some web pages from there they begin to load and then freeze. This only effects the internet browser window though and doesnt happen with all pages, but does regularly happen with other pages such as Weather.com. With some pages it happenes 95% of the time and other pages it never happens. The freezes happen to pages out of my favorites list, when I click a link, and if i were to manually type a URL. I have ran AdAware, and some free virus scans, but nothing out of the ordinary seems to show up. I have also ran "Hijack This" but i dont know what i am looking for so it isnt helping me much. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Go to the link below and copy/paste your HijackThis log into the open window. Then click on Analyze. After a moment, it will indicate what you should remove. HijackThis Analyzer Make a backup of your registry or create a System Restore point before you click the Fix button on the HijackThis utility.

If it's affecting Netscape and Mozilla, odds go down that it's spyware, etc. (although it's still possible that there's something outside of the browser that's causing it). In addition to looking for malware, try to see if there's anything that the pages that cause problems have in common that make them different from the pages that never mess up (like Flash animations, etc.). Also pay attention to the status bar when the freezes occur: some people have problems when sites try to pull in information from certain other sites for ads, etc. If that turns out to be the case, you can easily block the offending address in your hosts file.

Are you using DSL? If you are what kind of network card are you using? I used to have that same problem but I found out that it was with my network card, I changed it to a different brand and my problems disappeared

I have tried a few different things in the last day and a half but nothing has seemed to work. the one thing that I forgot ot mention befor is that when i am on AOL checking my email and i happen to use in the internet through that program there are no problems at all with any web sites. As of right now my Hijack This files are clean (thanks for the link Atlantic), and so are my adaware scans and spybots scans. (HiJinxs) there doesnt seem to be any spacific sites that are sending in information that are causing it to freeze. It seems so be all over the map. However, the sites laoding do seem to slow down and sometimes freeze when it is loading animations, advertisments, or pictures vs. pages that are more on the "plain" side. The loading icon in the top right corner doesnt flow consistantly. It goes fine until it tries loading an animation and then stops for a second and starts again. And what is malware? I have never heard of it. (xyber) I am using a Linkys wireless USB adapter. I have a laptop set up on the same network using a PCI card. They both have run the internet fine up until recently. The only thing that i have noticed between the two is that when using a certain downloading program i cant get "high id" with my desktop, but i can with the old laptop. That is another frustrating problem because if limits my download on the desktop, but i cant talk about that one in here i dont think. i dont know if that has anything to do with the problem but it may be something.
