So a few months ago (maybe 2 or 3) my Internet Explorer started acting funky. It would randomly say my connection failed (internet explorer cannot display the web page). This would happen even while my AIM was running in the background perfectly, so I knew it wasn't really a connection issue. If I keep refreshing (like 20 times) it eventually randomly decides to work. Not only does this happen, but Internet Explorer will randomly freeze and I'll have to close it out. I can't be on the Internet for more than five minutes without it happening. I know it must be an IE problem beacuse with other browsers I don't have this issue, ever. I checked for viruses many times (I have Trend Micro PC-cillian) and for spyware (Spybot) and my computer appears to be clean. Also I've deleted some temporary internet files that could be slowing down my computer. I use a file sharing program and I'm thinking that could be the issue. Any ideas on what the issue is and how to fix it?
Internet freezing constantly, but no viruses or spyware? (IE related)?adware
Spybot is free; as such, it is not particularly accurate with its scanning. I suggest you download Spyware Doctor and Norton Security Scan from the Google Pack at http://pack.google.com
I suspect, but can't be sure, that it is indeed a spyware or virus problem.
Also, IE is notoriously known for bad security. Do yourself a favor and switch to Mozilla Firefox, found at http://firefox.com, or you can read its praise from various sources.
