For the last few days, my system has been bogged down when loading any web based content or programs that connect to the web. When I would go to stream any sort of video or audio on sites like Pandora, Youtube, Hulu, use programs such as Steam, Gtalk, or even just start Google Chrome or Firefox, my system would get very choppy and the audio would become very distorted. My PC is average, XP SP3 4GB of ram, E4500 cpu @ 2.2Ghz, and a SATA 250GB Western Digital HDD, I know this should not have been happening with my setup.
So after a bit of fiddling (turning shields on and off and in different configurations), I have come to the realization that it is the Behavior Shield. Now my question is, has this particular problem been happening to anybody else, and if so, is the Behavior Shield particularly important in the first place ? Is there even a fix for this other than just leaving it turned off ?
