Made a lot of difference or not? are you running any antivirus software?
Google Chrome problem
- Thread starter HeaT
- Start date
No I'm not. Just Windows firewall.
It's made a bit of difference. May of been Java or could be the firewall. Still not perfect tho!

Is java allowed in the firewall too? it could be some sort of virus too if you're not using any antivirus and only window firewall. If anything get some Antivirus, please.
What would you recommend for antivirus? AVG still good?

I personally pay for norton premier edition because as soon as their is a new version you get it straight away and i have never had any problems with them to be perfectly honest.

Download Microsoft's Security Essentials and give your system a quick scan. It's free and not very resource hungry at all.
Nothing with Quick scan. Doing full scan now.

You could also check for malware using malwarebytes.
Scanned with search and destroy and found nothing.

Cool, that's good to hear.
Not tried safe mode yet and I'm not using a proxy.
Have just done a speed test and noticed something strange. My download speed is 60mb but... It won't check my upload speed. It's like my upload has vanished. Could this be the problem?

If after you've disabled firewall the problem persists, use the full superhub reset.
This has got me out of some tricky situations... Hold how the pinhole reset for 30 seconds, unplug for 30 seconds, plug back and and hold again for 30 seconds. This put the superhub back to default (which just a simple pinhole press and release doesn't do - god knows why.), from where you can set everything up as it was before (i.e modem mode).
Seriously, 75% of virgin problems are down to that pesky hub, and the other 25% are them cocking something up on their side.

Disabling the firewall has done nothing. Going to try resetting the "superhub"(why is it even called that....) and see what happens.
Thanks a lot for the replies so far everybody.
