Often right in the middle of websurfing (or more often just when in a site trying to check stuff out), my connection will stall...meaning my cursor shows that little sands of time waiting thingy and I can't click on anything else. It will usually catch up to itself and everything will be fine again but I usually end up clicking on the "x" to close the screen (which doesn't immediatly work) and I re-open Internet Explorer again and continue with whatever I was doing. Within minutes I get an Interent box asking me if I want to send a error report etc.
Is this a virus? Do I need to do some harddrive clean-up wizard or something?
Please help! I'm not all that savvy with computers so I'm not sure what to do here...any suggestions would be great!
Thanks, I'm gonna try your suggestions!

FWIW, my pc is only a year old...it's a Dell Desktop
