Problem One:
Running Windows XP
I use AVG daily and remove adware.
Lately in the morning my computer is fine!
By afternoon (especially if I have to close the computer down and restart/reconnect to internet) I have a huge problem getting connected to the internet.
Either it says the other computer is not responding/the line is busy/and a few other error messages.
Once I do get connected (only in the afternoon) up comes the next problem.
I hit something in my preferences/bookmarks - and it wont come up, but, it does if I go to a search engine - type it in and go there (that is how I got to YA)... Anything internet *interactive* - videos/games/emails - all run very slow if at all.
Problem Two: I wanted to scan using House Call - but prompted I need to update Java and then that I need ActivX - neither will download no matter what I do!

#1 You must be using a dialup connection and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is over booked, so to speak, in the afternoon - too many users, too few modems to connect to.
The other things you state related to problem #1 could also be related to this 'overbooked' connection. Switch ISPs if you can or at least call them and ask/complain.
#2 In Internet Explorer go to Tools, Options. Reset the Security, Privacy and Advanced tabs to Default. I'm guessing that accepting ActiveX content got turned off. There may also be a choice under the Advance tab about Java- select it if it is there.

First of all, probably your connecting to the internet problem could be with your connect. Cable modem connection has a shared connected with various users around your area, so since all of you are sharing one connection, internet connection could be slow especially in the afternoon where most people probably could be using the internet where as in the morning its rarely used. With your next problem about the bookmarks, it could be the browser your using, try switching to Mozilla Firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ and see if you get the same problem. With the third problem, uninstall the Trend Micro HouseCall and try downloading it again, try updating the Java again.

Sounds as if one thing that could be *contributing to* your problem is that AVG is set up to "eat your cookies" ... and/or maybe a browser is set up to dispose of cookies on exit ... but I don't know whether that's your WHOLE problem!
