Net access

Any ideas why I can use the net for about 15minutes then all of a sudden IE
stops and will not load a page? the prgress bar moves but thats it, it
nevere gets to the end and does not give any "page not found" or whatever
messages. IE looks like it still running (no - "no response" message or the
like)

Vista ultimate (sp1 installed).

Now I know there was a problem with Zonealarm which was anounced a few days
ago but this did not effect Vista. But just to check I turned off Zonealarm
but the problem still there. The only way i can get surfin again is a
reboot!

Any ideas?

Hi,
1. With the warning that a reset will delete autocomplete data, such as
passwords and you will have to reinstall browser add-ons, work through this
article:

2. 936214- How to troubleshoot compatibility problems that affect IE7 in

restarts:

4. This may be a malware problem- adware, spyware, hijacker, trojan, etc.
