Boozer76 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 So as I mentioned in another thread, I was having problems going to certain webistes. I naroowed it down to google, and any site that was powered by google or had an ad that was powered by google. these sites would either not load or take forever to do aso. So I finally caved in and bought the Por version of Norton Antivirus and ran a scan that took 4 hours-$70.00-issues not resolved (but found 43 viruses lol) Then I decided to clean up my comp and delete a bunch of unused programs.-1 hour, issue not resolved. Then I defragged my comp. 4 hours (knew this wouldn't solve the problem, but needed to do it anyway) Then I removed Spybot and Popup stopper and installed adaware instead. 1 hour. Then I had adaware scan my entire comp. 3 hours, found 213 spyware, issue still not resolved. At this point I had spent $70 and 13 ghours of time and still had the sam damn original problem until...... Aftyer sitting at my comp staring and wondering WTF to do nexct, I decided to unplug my router and plug it back in. Why, I don't know, but it seemed like something to try. Anyway this took me 5 seconds-problem solved!!!! Don't you love it when you waste 13 hours of your life and $70 friggin dollars to fix something that took 5 seconds and was free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when was mangoatlove.com a BAD website?? You were the one who recommended it Funny thing is the viruses and spyware agents were not affecting my computer at all. Other than the google issue, my comp was running great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haggis Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Delete your cache. I had trouble accessing yahoo and ESPN. Ran all kinds of things and then finally deleted my temp internet folder which was stupidly huge and the difference was night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
