Only a few sites load 100% of the time.

This is a pretty odd problem, and I have no idea what could be causing it. Let's see: Wikipedia loads 100% of the time. Digg loads about 25% of the time. Amazon loads 0% of the time. It just says "Waiting for ____" And doesn't make any progress from that point on. This will happen in other browsers as well.

On a side note: Malware Alarm (which is obviously a virus in itself) was replacing normal images and such with and advertisement telling me to upgrade. Could that have been the problem?

Thanks,
Goomba.

Also, may I add that the main Google page loads, but when you search something, it only works about 10% of the time, thus the search engine itself having trouble. Dunno if that would help with anything.

Thanks,
Goomba.

But that's the problem. I try to go to Panda ActiveScan... But hotmail doesn't load for me either, thus preventing me from registering.

If you can run any of the requested scans, it's ok to leave out the ones that won't work. Just make a note in your new thread saying which ones wouldn't work and what happened when you tried to run them.
