    Default win 7 internet frozen after sleep

    Windows 7 64 bit
    On Cold boot or restart from sleep something is "Using the Hosts file" which takes minutes to "time out"
    meanwhile there is no internet access
    I tried a different DNS server- no change
    Disabling DNSClient Services in Services removes the symptom as
    Disabling (renaming) the Hosts file removes the symptom
    using HOSTMAN
    Avast problem same with/ without
    Comodo Firewall- problem still there when disabled
    Spybot with or without T-timer
    with or without Windows defender
    Windows firewall is off

    Another windows 7 System with Spybot Immunize only Hosts size but rest of the software the same works fine.

    Word is that you do not have to disable DNSClient Services in Win 7 as you do in XP
    Might be wrong

    Anyone else with this set of experiences?
    Which of these "protect" System 32 and or Hosts? or would feel that they have to lock or scan Host file
    CPU is maxed out
    Thanks

    Do you have Spyware Blaster?

    How do you know the CPU maxes out?

    have spywareblaster

    monitor wth taskmanager see below

    Update
    System or some program still processing/ using host file upon restart/resume/ wakeup from"sleep" (with dnscach enabled)
    With hostsoptimizer it does not "hang" nearly as long- almost usable
    however I see no performance penalty with dnscache disabled in "services"
    I thought this was supposed to have been fixed even in vista! (I skipped Vista)
    so let's spread the word

    On ctl alt del = taskmanager I clicked the "performance" tab and the tabs disappeared and I cannot navigate to "Applications" or "Processes" ( persists after reboot) just see the CPU stats
    makes it hard to track down what's running

    Thanks

    temptation among the unwashed is to always blame MS, Tea Timer Firewall or AV
    would like to crack this one
