I’ve said befor that for me chrome sporadically has problems with “reset connection”, it’s now happening all the time on various prowsers (Opera and IE too) making internet almost unusable.

Router & connection are fine if the internet radio is anything to go by, any ideas? I’m about to look into it, but google is the worst affected site 🙁

I presume you’ve tried disabling Anti-Virus, uninstalling any plug-ins, updating Flash etc?

Use something like CCleaner to get rid of cache/history and what-have-you, then switch computer and router off and on again. Every router I’ve ever had has needed a re-start every once in a while after it started dropping the connection.

Flash is fresh, will look into others, ta, disabling anti-virus sounds risky!..

Why doesn’t this shit just work?

Well disabling extensions in IE and ccleaner seems to have helped a bit, ta.

…for about 60 seconds, back to square zero now.

Anything that gets “in between” your browser and the internet has to be suspect. That will include any extensions (in Chrome, it’s Spanner – Settings – Extensions) you’ve installed plus any AV. If you’ve installed multiple AV over the years, remnants of them might still be interfering and, indeed, tripping over each other.

As always, a clean install of the OS and Apps will tend to sort these out but it’s a step you might not want to take.

Why don’t they always work? It’s because no one else will have installed/uninstalled/modified/updated their system exactly the way that you have over the years. When I worked in IT and we were dealing with thousands of systems, the #1 goal was that they were all maintained exactly the same. That meant we had a very good chance of any tested changes working on all of them.

Funnily enough I’ve had that a bit last week so it’s possible there has been an update that caused a problem (there were a lot of updates this Thursday IIRC). I would either use system restore to roll back to a week ago and see if that fixes it or use reliability and performance ( assuming you are Vista/7) to see if anything was installed or updated in the last few days.

Do a malware scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Same problem for non-pr0n sites ?

“System restore” you say?

…

Now it won’t boot up :/

Ah, booted up now, “just” needed 20m to do so :!

Appears to be less fubared than previous so far, ta.

Seems like the system might also need cleaning. Get some antivirus. For more on Internet browsers and their updates, check this out
