General Computer Support / Cannot download...browsers freeze

« on: October 10, 2012, 06:51:32 pm »

I only use Firefox and Opera (FF mostly).  After having some other computer issues, i ran a few scans with adwcleaner, Roguekiller, rkiller, combofix and others.  There were a few nasties in there that were clean.  Scans are generally coming up clean now.  HOwever, since then, I am unable to download anything without the browsers freezing.  I can access the internet fine, surf all day, but if I go to download a program the browser (but not the rest of the computer) freezes and I have to use Task Master to close it out.  It does not matter if I use FF or Opera, attempting to DL freezes.   Also, with FF if I try to choose Options, FF freezes, however, I can select Private Browsing off the same Tools menu with no problem.   This is very perplexing.
