For about a week we have been having problems surfing the net. After about 5
- 10 minutes, web pages just won't load any more. This happens whether we
have been online for that time or have just had the computer on. The only
way to get back online is to reboot the computer. Outllok continues to run
perfectly. I have run spyware programs, virus detection, hijacker detection
etc. all to no avail. there is plenty of space free on the hard drive. I
have cleaned the disk, defragged etc and am at a loss as to what to do now.
Any ideas?????

You don't say what anti-spyware programs you have used..
See
Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

Alternative download pages for Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis and CWShredder
may be found on this page:

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs
below, download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

If nothing there helps, please post back to this thread.
