[QUOTE="mitchum22, post: 1005156, member: 96400"] Hello, all. Thank you very much for this fine forum. My problem: about a week ago (before the W11 major update) my PC browsers all started to hang or even quit at certain sites, not at all at most others. (This began while I was DLing several heavy files.) The computer itself is as fast as ever, as are the DL speeds when received outside of a browser. Inside what will happen is a DL will start, then just quit. Or it will show no forward progress, but actually will have already completed. The pages themselves, when problematic, will either not load, take a long time to load, or load incompletely. Refreshing the page sometimes works, sometimes not. Of course, this screams malware so I've run about half-a-dozen full scans using various scanners (MalwareBytes, AntiSpyware Scanner) with no infections being shown. However, Windows Defender does not complete in Full Mode, just sorta stops in the middle. And BitDefender -- after installing and running an initial check -- moves over to the "Create an Account" page -- which is blank, nothing but white space. Yet the BitDefender icon is now on the desktop -- yet I cannot open BitDefender. ???? I've had my current PC for about 16 months now with zero previous problems. Any help would be very appreciated.
