Hey Keith,
I fixed the problem, at least temporarily, by following these leads:
I hope I'm not Intruding, but try this tools to see what is running in the
background, try to turn Windows Updates OFF.
Process Explorer for Windows v10.21
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspx
This monitoring tool lets you see all file system activity in real-time.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Filemon.mspx
List all the DLLs that are currently loaded, including where they are loaded
and their version numbers. Version 2.0 prints the full path
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/ListDlls.mspx
Try these cleaning steps:
1... Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced .
Click on General Tab (1st Tab on the left) and you will see a Button called
[ Clear History ..] click on it to clear your History caches, then click on
[Delete Files..] to delete Internet Files created over the time, click on [
Delete Cookies...] to delete your cookies left by visiting websites.
= Then try to Disable the Add-Ons on your Browser somehow installed on your
browser, On how to disable the Add-ons follow this:
Click on Programs Tab and then click the Manage Add-Ons Button there Disable
the None/Not Verified Plug-ins/Add-ons ( you need to Renable them one-by-one
later and see which is the culprit or you can send them here in your next
post) and click [OK] to confirm your Changes.
Click on Advanced Tab and scroll down under the browsing option and uncheck
this box:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) and click Apply
then OK to close your IE Properties.
2.... And also for malwares from here:
http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php
http://www.safer-networking.org ; for Spybot S&D
Download and install after installing this software and
update then run a scan in both safe mode and normal:
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5
Run disk Clean Up and Defrag in safe mode, then Open run command and type in:
sfc /scannow click [OK]
Note the space between sfc_/
HTH.
