Webpages slow to load right after start up.

mewakitty · 23 Apr 2013

Hi everyone,

This has been a problem for a bit, here is what's going on:
1. I start up the computer, everything loads, Skype is up and running within seconds and I can talk to people (internet is working).
2. I click Firefox (or Chrome), the program opens quickly, but no pages will load for the next few minutes even if I keep refreshing.

Once this works itself out, everything will load fine from then on.

This only happens on my Windows 7 computers. They are all 64 bit, but different hardware. It seems like all browsers do the same thing. Drivers and the OS are up to date. Any thoughts?

What does it delete exactly?

You have AVG search secure that is blocking you from going to the internet ( searches )

Why would it only block when I open it for the first time? Consequently, why would it get better after a few minutes?

I did as you said and it didn't change anything. The AVG Search Secure was disabled in Add-Ons beforehand anyway. The problem is not limited to Firefox.

Lets try a ipconfig /flushdns

Click on

type CMD inside the Search programs and files box . Press <ENTER> when you see CMD under Programs (1) once command Prompt opens up . Path will be C:\Users\YourUserName>_

Type the command below

ipconfig /flushdns

Press <ENTER>

If the above command doesn't work . Open up the Command Prompt as an administrator.

Click on the

button type CMD . Once CMD comes up under Programs (1) right click and choose Run as administrator. On the User Access Control window click on the Yes button type the command above.
