Internet programs hanging
Hi y'all,
Since upgrading to Mozilla Firefox v3 about 9 months ago I had problems with tabs hanging and not being able to end the process in the Vista task manager. I tried all the suggestions about deleting my user profile, reinstalling Firefox, closing AVG, etc, etc but nothing worked so I switched to Google Chrome. This worked fine for a while, but for the last 3/4 months that has started hanging as well. I can open maybe 4 tabs and then it just hangs. It is still happening in Firefox and in Opera. Trying to end the process in the Vista task manager does nothing.
I am also using Personal Brain 5 and have problems when trying to open websites from PB. I can open a couple and then Chrome hangs. I have the same problem trying to open sites from emails received in Mozilla Thunderbird. Pictures then will no longer load in the emails in Thunderbird. I am forced to restart the computer. Starting to get very frustrated. And almost ready to reinstall everything.
I have run a scan using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware which turned up nothing and have attached a HJT log. Can someone see/suggest anything?
