Window Vista and internet problems

Feb 21, 2007 7:57PM PST

When using Vista and either internet explorer 7 or foxfire, after using it for a short time (10 minutes) the browser either becomes very slow or freezes and I must exit and get back in. Any suggestions?

Maybe it's your anitvirus. My Internet was very slow using McAfee, but when I changed to AVG it's much better now. Could give it a shot and see.

Mine does the same thing, sort of, I will be surfing and when I go to another page, it will tell me I'm not connected to the net. I tried un-installing Trend Micro-Antivirus, but it still does the same thing. Did you get your fixed? What was the problem?
