| 1251963 | 2012-01-04 00:01:00 | My main browser is FF, but the problem also exists on IE and Opera. At times, I can't get browsers to load at all. They show that they are connected to a website but will not load any pages. During this time, I can use Skype and send and receive emails and can even get Mailwasher to contact and download my emails from my server via the website from which I cannot get contact via my browser. I uninstalled FF and re-installed an older version but still get the problem. At the moment, I do have full access. Hence my contact through this media. Anyone got any ideas. |

| 1251964 | 2012-01-04 04:57:00 | Has this problem suddenly happened or has it been creeping up, and sometimes loading other times not ? If its suddenly happened, what were you doing prior to it starting. ? Also, what security software do you have and whats the OS ? |

| 1251965 | 2012-01-04 05:29:00 | Thanks for your response. I think it has been creeping in for a little while but it appears to come right most of the time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use the browser at all. I am using Win7 (32bit) and Vipre Internet Security 2012. I also have Advanced System Care running in the background. I don't think I have installed anything that may have a bearing on the topic. |

| 1251966 | 2012-01-04 05:35:00 | Have you tried disabling both and see if the browsers work ? Try disabling the firewall at least on vipre as sometimes they can cause a problem. The system may also have some sort of malware. Vipre is not that good, they used to have a single product for malware (name evades me at the moment) that was good, but once they combined all their products all sorts of strange things started happening. |

| 1251967 | 2012-01-04 05:58:00 | What about trying a different DNS server, or flushing the DNS cache? | Paul.Cov (425) | ||
| 1251968 | 2012-01-04 19:11:00 | At the moment, the browser is working OK but next time i get the problem, I'll try flushing the DNS cache and possibly shutting down the Vipre firewall and then Advanced System Care if needbe. I'm not sure how to use a different DNS server. Thanks |
