When i rightclick in explorer it wants to connect to the internet everytime, my fw is blocking and i want it too, this causes explorer to freeze for a couple of seconds which is annoying as hell
Explorer didn't use to do this it just hapend a few weeks ago, i removed all spyware (ad-aware, spyhunter, spybot) but that didn't change anything...
Does anyone know why this happends and how i can fix it ?
 
Hi Olle,
I noticed this a few weeks ago, while I was online and right clicked a file
to check its properties, and tracked it down to the critical update 828026
for Windows Media Player. If that update is removed Explorer stops calling
out when a file is right clicked when online. Its calling out to Verisign
and I assume its checking certificates, but why it happens just because a
file is right clicked seems to indicate something wrong with the critical
update.
