Do you have a boyfriend/husband who downloads a lot of porn.

I had the same problem on one of my computers. It showed that I had a strong internet connection, but McAfee firewall was preventing the pages from loading. I disabled McAfee, and everything works fine now. I use a different firewall with no problems.

If that does not work, you can right click on your clock - click Task Manager - Processes - then click Mem Usage to sort - here you will see what is using your resources and might help you locate the problem.

Hope this helps-

Ron

A restart always helps. That releases the RAM that all programs use & reserve for later use, whether they're still in use or not
