SOLVED Internet Explorer drops out for a few seconds ever few minutes

I never had any issues with Avg on my other (XP) laptop which is why I installed it on the new one. Maybe it doesn't like Windows 7?
lol I think it's the other way around. Windows 7 doesn't like junk software installed on it.
Yes, I'll come round to Windows 7 now it's working well, thanks.
By far, it is the greatest consumer OS I've ever had the pleasure to use. It is fantastic in all aspects across the board. You will really start enjoying it once you get used to its differences from XP and know your way around well.
Glad it worked out for ya.

Open device manager. Double click on the network adapters section. Right click on your wireless adapter and choose properties. Then go to Power Management tab. Uncheck the box for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
Hit ok to save then reboot.
Fixed.

Anna I wasn't recommending F-secure to you, I was actually looking for TorrentG's opinion of it. I probably should have started a separate thread but I had hoped to just slip it in as an aside as I didn't feel it worthy of a thread.
I'm glad your IE is working and if you follow TorrentG's advice for preventing the network adapter from being put to sleep you will be fine there as well.

Oh ya, sorry about that. I meant to say something about F-Secure.
Honestly, out of the thousands of machines I've analyzed for crash dumps and msinfo32s, I have never even seen a machine with it.
That either tells you that it's not very widely used or machines with it haven't experienced any problems from it.
It probably is a little of both.

Yeah, look at the graph here. I would say the F-Secure shares the "others" part of the graph with quite a few other antivirus solutions:

In the 2nd chart, it's only at 1.41% of the market share.

To upload the file here you need to click in the "post reply" link just above and to the left of the quick reply box. The post reply box has more options including the paperclip which is how you will upload the zip file.
u can try these steps may help you
Basic IE troubleshooting always begins with clearing your temp files, cookies, and browsing history. To access your internet options go to your control panel and double click the icon labeled "Internet" options. Click the appropriate buttons to clear those items and try to load the program again.
If you are using IE 7/8 you can try to run the program without loading any add-ons to see if one of them is causing the problems. To do this, click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
(You can also load IE without add-ons by clicking START --> RUN and then typing iexplore.exe -extoff)
If those don't work try to re-register IEPROXY.DLL by clicking START --> RUN and typing regsvr32 IEPROXY.DLL and then clicking OK.
When IE dissapears does IExlorer.exe show in the task manager's list of running processes?
Have any toolbars or new sofware been added recently? If so and you are using Win XP you may want to try a system restore to a previous point before the changes were made or uninstall the toolbars completely. Also disabled all Pop-Up blockers to see if that has any effect.
