    this is a shot in the dark, but if you installed iTunes you might be running up against an issue with yourwinsock API. The usual symptoms of this problem are either a painfully slow connection, failure to connect to website messages, or frequently dropped connections.

    There is a command you can run from a command prompt to reset it (or you can open notepad, paste only this line and save it as a .bat file, ie winsock.bat, then run it). It will call for a reboot.

    netsh winsock reset

    Hmm that's really interesting, could be the problem I had on my old laptop. Definitely not the problem I'm having on this PC as I don't have itunes installed. I have very few programs installed in general really, so I kind of doubt it's any problem like that.
