Saviours of the internet help me - yes you!
having some problems with my internet, and I 'think' (being a techno-numpty) it has something to do with javascript, but I'm not sure what. Certain pages aren't loading, or are loading VERY slowly indeed (on a tested 7MB speed) and enabling/disabling javascript does weird things to it, like sometimes not load at all, or load very slowly as above (facebook in particular is affected by this)
Now, in words of one syllable or less for me, has anyone got any ideas on what might have happened with javascript, or what I coudld do to repair it, because my internet enjoyment (I have already reinstalled Firefox 3 from scratch, with no add-ons, and even IE7 is also playing up) is rapidly decreasing.

Help me Obi /talk Kenobi, you're my only hope.

/incidentally, b3ta is working fine (all boards, very quick resposne) but some sites such as facebook - mentioned above - are not working at all for me, hence why I think it coudl be javascript related.

I'm running:
Nod32
Ad-Aware SE Professional
Spyware Doctor
also have Spybot and Noadware as back ups

also run the excellent Windows AdvancedCare regularly, and no spyware shows up on any of these

go to a command prompt and type in
netstat > C:netstat.txt

then find C:\netstat.txt, open it up and paste all that into a GAZ

I wish I could, I enter that code and a screen flashes for about 2 seconds before closing itself down.
none of the programs I mention above seem to detect anything wrong elsewhere, and the machine still works like a dream elsewhere. It appears to be a problem just happening today.

I have no knowledge of the inner workings of these things, so don't know what I can do about the javascript issue, which appears to be causing the problem

ahhh right
you have definitely caught a nasty from somewhere, no matter what your antivirus is telling you

update all your virus definitions, try restarting in safe mode, do a full virus scan and see if that shifts it

Do you have the skype plug-in doodah.
One of the recent versions of that fucks up java in both firefox and ie.

I think you're going to have to resort to semen and fruit preserves.

Yus Skype caused me problems
didn't even notice the fucking thing install itself into Firefox. Everything was fine once I got shot of it.
That'll learn me for installing communication software whilst drunk.

Have a wank and a lay down

You need a new computer.
Pop yourself down to PC World in the morning.

are you downloading torrents?
Some ISPs will throttle your bandwidth if they detect torrent traffic. Get a client that will encrypt the packets.

nope, we're ok on that
speed is fine, and a lot of sites (b3ta included) are running A-OK and very fast

it appears to be sites that are affected quite abit by javascript.
last week, I mentioned on here that /talk very often carshes for me - not /board or /links, just /talk. It was isolated to a javascript problem.

facebook is being shit for me too
dont worry it'll get better. unless other sites dont work.

it's not loading up at all for me, but it's not timing out, which is the weird thing
it's just hanging there, for ages.
Some other sites also lag a lot today for some reason, and others (like b3ta) don't

it's a pisser
