I was having trouble yesterday for hours with very slow page loading. I thought it might be BTvault hogging all the bandwidth or my connection to the local exchange. Nothing seemed to improve it.
Eventually tried switching off (pulling the power lead out of ) my ADSL modem / router for half a minute and then plugging it back in.
After it had reset itself - problem solved.
Give it a try - its quick and easy.

As you have Norton, follow these steps - I did and mine is fine now.

Left click on Norton icon and select Run Live Update from the left hand side of the box.

When that is finished (it might take a few minutes), run the Scan Now.

That should sort you out. You should do this once a week to make sure you have the latest protection and nothing has got through in the meantime.

What website are you browsing when this happens and what browser are you using?
