Hi I'm running Vista 64-bit SP2, IE 8.
1 Yes the problem persists in no add-ons mode
2 Yes
3 I have BitDefender Internet Security 2010, the subscription for which is
current. I also have antimalwarebytes antimalware, and a2free. No third
party firewall. None of these were running in the background, as they have
all been installed more recently than IE8. I did have BitDefender 2009 at
the time, but I coundn't be sure if it was running or not when I installed
IE8.
4 When I bought the machine I think a trial of McAfee Internet Security was
installed.
I have also tried resetting TCP as suggested on
support.microsoft.com/kb/299357, which didn't work either.
