Problem with browsers...
#1

Ok, So I'm using Mozilla Firefox and today it has seriously slowed dows, I can't even normally surf the web... It's no like the internet is slow, It's Just that when I'm navigating on Web, mozilla just freezes and doesn't respond for some 20 sec. and then loads the page. Same for IE.

Could anyone help me?

Btw- I'm running Windows 7. And Browsers worked well before this.

Did you do something before? Maybe you installed a bad plugin, maybe it's probably from your connection, even if you say it's not..

Firefox is known for a memory leak, Check your Ram/CPU usage.

I didn't want to start a new topic since i saw this, but let me ask you
Anytime I start Firefox3, it uses up 99-100% of my CPU Usage, and not
the firefox process but the svchost one, i have searched, but found no solution.
Also I dont have any viruses!

Doubt viruses are spacificaly attacking firefox
Try these-
How many open tabs are there-
Is there lots of icons on your desktop- (can crash explorer.exe)
Do you have enough memory in your pc

Well like I said it happens just when I open it, the svchost.exe process
takes up upto 99-100% of CPU Usage, I have lots of icon on my desktop
(if 48 is "lots"), and i have 512MB of RAM...

This may be a problem, I suggest you put the extra stuff into a folder (untill you have 10-19 icons left)
======================EDIT============
What about your harddrives memory, you can veiw this by going to start->my computer->Right click on the c:\ drive->propertys
A pie chart should come up if you're using xp

an overload of icons can REALY cause the problem, i had the same scenareo with my whole desktop, explorer.exe crashed everytime you clicked on it
