computer hangs/freezes

i mainly use firefox 3.5 ,but i still get problem on IE 8. while surfing on internet, pages hang and take a while to load about 20-30 secs. i have a wireless connection on all my computers but only have this hang problem with my laptop. laptop originally came with Windows Vista Home Premium (SP1,32-bit version) but got free upgrade to window7 enterprise 64bit. hang problem happens enough to annoy but usually i can surf the rest of the time. did scans with bitdefender and malwarebytes anti-malware and came up clean several times. i did scan with HijackThis and was hoping to get advice on what to do. my laptop : toshiba satellite 505d-s5965 amd antholon dual core QL 65. 3GB sdram , 250GB HDD. i have 2.75 GB useable memory so i dont think its a memory problem. i have a little knowledge and hope i can solve this problem with some help. thank you in advance for any help you can give . i have come to this site to get some help and or advice so my computer and i dont end up sleepin with the fishes. below is HijackThis log

 

That log seems clean.

If you have problems with IE, it could be:

- Installed component (you will have to disable it)
- Malware
- Need a reinstallation of the product

I suggest that you take a ride over the MG! Guides about how to clean Malware:

READ & RUN ME FIRST

Also you could:

Try to check the components installed in IE (disable that you think is suspicious, toolbars, extensions, etc...), maybe that's the problem.

Btw, if you update windows constantly, try to do this:

Start > run > MRT (it's the malicious software removal tool from microsoft).

Last option is reinstall.

As you described the problem in the title is the whole computer or just IE?

Keep us up to date.

cheers.:zzz

 

Be advised: your HJT log will most likely be edited from your post - inline logging is not allowed at Major Geeks.

The efficient way to do this is by using IE (No Add-ons) in System Tools - you might also use Firefox safe mode for troubleshooting purposes.

Take a look at your Event Viewer at or near the time of the crash, see if anything stands out. You might also check Task Manager, see what processes, network activity, etc. are unusual.

 

What means that? :confused

Btw, you can restore the configuration of the navigator, in advanced options, (it will disable any tool bar, addons, complements... and also give you the option to delete your personal configuration).

 

Sorry for the apparent confusion - I was referring to lucaBrazzi's posting of the HijackThis log.

 

:-D I know that, but what is the meaning of inline logging? :confused

 

Displaying the entire text of a log, instead of attaching it as a file to a post.

 

Oh! Thanks!!

 

First i would like to thank Caliban & itmortiz for posting their help on this problem. i also would like to appologize for the inline logging. i didnt even know what inline logging was. im new to this forum stuff ( remember im a Private E-2) and was just trying to get all my info out to anyone who could understand the log. duely noted on inline logging gentlemen. p.s. the hanging is on both browsers IE & firefox.
