Hi guys,

I'm having a problem on both my Avast browser, as well as my Chrome browser. This has gone on for quite a long time, but I've just now had the chance to finally try to find out what is going on.

Basically what happens is if say, I download a picture, the folder screen comes up where to download the pic to, and after I choose it, the download begins, and is usually successful. What happens next is weird.

My browser just begins to freeze and stops. I click with my mouse, but all I get is (not responding). This problem can last for almost 7-10 minutes long, until then my browser returns to normal, and I can download things again, IF I don't close my browser. If I do close it, and I try to download again, it starts the problem all over again.

This doesn't happen on Firefox, but only on the Chrome type browsers.

Anyone have this happen to them ? If yes or no, any ideas what the trouble might be ?

Thanks, in advance for any help or suggestions.
