I am using Zonelabs ZoneAlarm, and I haven’t had any problems with either iexplorer.exe or MsnMsgr.exe before…so no, I haven’t tried disabling it…
First of all: Yes, I have tried uninstalling msn and IE and installing the latest versions.
Secondly: Hm, well, it’s not ALL my apps that have problems on the net. Firefox e.g. is running smoothly, but it seems as though that whenever some of MS’ apps want to connect to the internet, the problem occurs. I have 1gb RAM and as I said earlier, the problem has been there for 3-4 weeks – I think it’s since 10 January, or perhaps a few days earlier…not quite sure.
I really hope you can help me, guys – I have tried all kinds of things suggested in a couple of very competent Danish forums, but no luck! 🙁
I know it’s hard to believe, but it just started – I didn’t do anything in particular, as far as I recall. …and I’m afraid it’s too late for a system restore – it’s 3-4 weeks ago…
