I have 3 browsers, This problem effects all 3, so I think it might be in the computer settings itself. Windows 7 home premium edition, I have windows security center disabled, and windows firewall, (I thought the firewall might have caused it)
IE8 with all critical updates completed, Firefox 5.0, & Chrome 5.0
Whenever I try to go to "My Dashboard" on playlist.com, or if I try to f-connect with facebook at buyearnplay.com. There are a few other sites as well but these are the important ones. The page keeps refreshing over and over again at a rate of about 2 refreshes per second.
This computer is only 1 month old, and it has done it since I got it, what could be wrong? I did a spyware scan a couple weeks ago and had spyware but it is gone now. I had PornPopUp and fastclick, I also found & removed a digsby messenger which I never knowingly installed. After I turned off restore and ran spybot it successfully cleaned it up!

I clicked on the link where you said to post if still waiting, but it said the thread was closed! I'm getting pretty frustrated, I am almost ready to erase this whole hard drive and load windows XP on this new computer.
I tried to make a backup yesterday on a flash drive, windows recommends using a flash drive, a external hard drive, or a dvd-r.
Upon loading my flash drive, it recognized it as a flash drive right away, But then when I tried to use it to store a backup file it asked me to insert a "Blank Media" into my drive G, which was my flash drive. I wish I could have reached into the computer to slap someone.
I hate windows 7!

Note I could not run ERUNT as it said it was for Vista & Below. What registry backup tool is safe to use for windows 7?
I am not aware of problems in running ERUNT on Windows 7.
