Is there a remedy to fix internet connection freeze ups?
Sometimes my connection will freeze for up to 30 secs. I
run Spybot and Ad-Ware all the time also. OS Win98 &
WinME.
 
See if the following advice helps (from Henri Leboeuf) And, have you updated your spyware utils databases?

Clear the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and delete
offline content.) It's often recommended that the Temporary Internet Files
(folder) be kept at
40-50 MB. Bigger isn't necessarily better.

It may be some spyware calling home while you wait.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
