I suggest that you  try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no such problems. The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software  and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at\nhttp://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html

This used to happen to me before.\n\nIn oreder to resolve this, make sure that you disable your pop-up blockers. Also, disable any antivirus and make sure your internet connection do not fluctuate. Also, check on your java and make sure that it is installed.\n\nYou can also try in a different computer. Problem could be with your computer too.

You might have spyware or adware on your computer.

maybe becuase you're using pop-up blocker,\ntry to disable any software from that kind (maybe even IE popup blocker).

Have you scanned your system for viruses and adware/malware?\nTry SpyBot. It's one of the best!\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html\n\nDo you have an anti-virus program installed and up-to-date?

Check the amount of RAM, processor speed and the video card in your system, while everyone so far has been quite correct that network bandwidth is an issue the fact that changing tabs is slow suggests a problem with your machine.\n\nCheck a virus scan or adware scan just to be sure there isn't some huge resource hog. If you find the problems really getting to you you may want to run less programs at once. I don't really want to patronise you with other basic computer things, I'm sure you have the idea :-)

you may have a virus on it or you could just need more RAM, take a look at the properties on 'my computer' and it will tell you the ram on the first tab that opens (you want a min of 512mb)

Do you want to disconnect from the internet? If you are using Windows, there will be an icon in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen that looks like two computer monitors next to each other. Double click on that icon and a window will pop up. Click disconnect.\n\nMaybe you're having this problem: While using you computer a window pops up asking you to connect to the internet. You close it. A few minutes later it pops up again even though you are not wanting to use the internet. If this is your problem, you probably have some spyware on your computer which is trying to find out information about you and send it to some criminal over the internet (some free software installs spyware) Use an anti-spyware program to get rid of it. Go to http://www.safer-networking.org and download the program called "Spybot Search & Destroy".

the only thing that is definatly the case it that this is a 'weakest link' problem... something in your setup is causing the problem- it could be your processor, ram, os config, network card, router, service, or even just a problem at whatever website you're visiting...

This is likely becuase there is something wrong with your internet connection. If you're using a fast-connection, try resetting your modem, rebooting your computer, or renewing your IP address. In any case, your computer is probably somehow not connected the way it should be.

Go to internet options for each browser you have:\nDelete Cookies\nDelete Page History\nClear/Delete Cache\n\nRun defrag\n\nRun your virus scanner.\n\nRestart.  This usually does it for me.\n\n(Don't run too many things at once).

Check your computer for viruses and spyware and all that good stuff. It sounds like you have something like that plus if you have one you probably have another so definitely do a scan on your PC.

I have seen spyware do this, have you scanned the system with spybot or adaware? This could also indicate a denial of service attack.
