You’ve been wondering why your internet browser keeps on freezing up while you surf the net. You’ve may have even speculated that it’s your browser’s problem or the internet provider that you are subscribed on is not delivering what it promised. Internet freezes occur because of various reasons and you will never know which is which until you try and fix it.
For the technically-inclined computer user, internet freezes are just a small glitch that can be solutioned manually. However, if you’re not tech-savvy, you can look for ways to improve your internet connection. It is likely for most computer users to look for easy-to-use solutions over the internet, but trying out some on-hand computer utilities won’t hurt either.
One thing you need to understand is that internet freezes are not always the result of internet crashes but they are caused by users’ faulty computer systems. These faulty systems have underlying causes too such as problems with the registry as well as virus and spyware infestations.
* Ruling out the culprit
It is difficult to pinpoint the culprit of this error if you don’t have the technical background. The best way to find out is to utilize your computer’s built-in tools in order to see how it will react to the solution. First is to check for viruses and spyware. You should use anti-virus and anti-spyware programs to do this. Make sure that these programs have scanning and cleaning capabilities as their topmost functions.
After you have scanned and cleaned your computer’s hard drive, restart your machine and see if the internet browser will freeze again.
Another way to do it is to delete cookies and cache via tools option from your browser. There are times that when you have many cache and cookies, your browser tend to slow down and have the possibility to end up with internet freezes.
You may also check if your pop-up blocker has been enabled because if not, your internet browser will open up quite a number of malicious websites that do nothing but bombard you with ads and insignificant sites [pornographic sites, hackers' sites, etc.].
Another method of distinguishing the error and to improve the speed of your internet access is to delete cache and cookies. If you have been online for a few hours and you notice that there is a bit of a drag when you open other websites and applications, deleting cache and cookies may help restore your browsing speed.
Last but not the least, use registry repair software to fix internet freezes. Generally, internet browsers rely on Windows registry to function properly since they also require installation and all of their information are managed by the registry.
