I have a problem whereby when I first boot up my pc internet explorer works fine, finds sites, goes to links, the back
and forward buttons work. Then, after a period of about 5-10 minutes, it gives messages of "Site not found", even if it
has just been to that page a few seconds ago.

I have performed a full virus scan with McAfee's latest DAT file. No errors found.

Please hlpe, it's driving me around the bend.

TIA

Hi Meena

thanks for the help. Unfortunately it hasn't helped. I sufr for about five minutes and then it suddenly takes ages to
try and locate a site (even a site I've been to just a few moments ago) and then it says "page not found"

Any other advice would be much appreciated.

TIA

I THINK (fingers crossed) I've solved this. I believe it was a version of Zonealarm free that got corrupted, would not
uninstall.

I downloaded the latest version and did a "clean" install (one of the install options) and so far I've been surfing
happily for 15 minutes.
