Until fairly recently I found that as soon as the last icon had loaded onto my SysTray that I could connect to the Internet via IE. However, it now takes about 5 minutes before I can get a connection. A check with Windows Task Manager found nothing hogging the CPU usage. A check with Sygate showed addresses in the range 169.254.x.x appearing, but a bit of googling suggested that these were harmless. The Sygate traffic history graphs would show nothing happening then, as I said, things would burst into life about 5 minutes later than was usual a week or so ago. I've got a Norton AV, Sygate firewall and check with AdAware and Spybot once a week and nothing particularly suspicious has appeared. Any ideas, anyone?
