I can connect with no PROBLEM to the internet with internet explorer. Sometimes I get a "not responding"message when I am in the middle of ordering something or just poking around on the internet. It gets very annoying because I have to control/alt/delete to get the window to close and then I have to start all over. What can I do? Free up some space?? I have Norton antivirus, popsubtract, and adware installed. Any help out there???PC Spec.?

Norton Antivirus may have caused it. It use to make my PC slower and slower again.

Use AVG Free . And check for malwares.

ALSO freeing some place may help.

If you are using a dialup service provider, you may have a telephone line problem. The line maybe disconnecting or dropping at times, this could be caused by several things. Can you use a different telephone line or TAKE your pc over to another LOCATION and use the one there? It could also be your service provider? Try to isolate the line connection if you are not having any other trouble.

If you are using the dialup service, does your telephone have call waiting? If so you may have an incoming call that bumps the pc connection and the calling parting may not be getting a connection to your phone after the BUMP.
