I thought about the possibility of a virus/spyware etc.
but I do not think it can be it. It is a brand new laptop
only had it for a month. When I got it first thing I did
was to scan it for any problems, and slapped my firewall
and same security measures from the PC onto it before i
even setup the net connection. I tried the Adaware program
and it quarantined and removed a few things (mostly old
cookies). but i still have the problem. It's just odd I
think that it only happens with Some websites-- load like
normal but then instantly close. Only ones I know that
have done it so far are logging into the chess game at
yahoo.com, certain pages on emode.com and hsn.com.
