visit GOOGLE, YAHOO and other pages....the standard "page
unavailable screen" comes up...I have to re-start the
computer in other to access the pages...Any suggestions on
fix?

you've most likely got your idle timeout set to a low

amount, you find it by going through tools, internet
options, onto the connection tab highlight the connectoid
in the white box click the settings button, then
throughout those tabs there should be an option there to
disable your idle timeout. I suffer the same prob on my
broadband, although I don't need to shut down and
restart, I just clost IE then DBL click back into it,
sometimes it still comes up with web page unavailable, if
this happenes, all I need to do it type an address in the
address field and it will go there.

You have probably inadvertently downloaded and installed adware,
spyware, parasite, trojan or a browser hijacker from some web site:
