Links freeze?

Post IE version.

Post if you look at Windows Updates daily.

WU has security updates for me IE 10 almost daily;

and other Windows system updates.

Do you know your net connection speed?

http://www.tracemyip.org/ should tell you & there are other progs that will.

since the prob is browser-wide, try disabling your firewall temporarily to see if it,s the prob.

I had to delete McAfee before I could get online at all w/ a new Lenovo w/ Win7 and IE.

I have Microsoft Security Essentials rather than Win Defender. MSE is the only anti vir & fire wall I run.

Don,t have two anti vir programs active at once.
