Hello,
Your problems are probably caused by the Spybot proxy.
Spybot has its own proxy that protects you against malicious websites and cookies systemwide.
While this great feature filters Internet traffic of every application that accesses a www server through standard means,
it can reduce your browsing performance to a sometimes annoying degree.
There are also some known bugs accessing specific sites in your browser.
We therefore issued an update to 2.1 and issued a new Software installer (Spybot 2.1.20 SR 1).
With this update and installer the proxy will be disabled by default.
Just search for new updates or download our new installer from
here.
Best regards
Sandra
Team Spybot
