| Browser Problem
This has been happening for awhile now but its gotten worse lately. I use internet explorer for the majority of my internet browsing and my homepage is set to hotmail. Frequently when I open my browser it'll connect to 65.54.186.79 and get stuck there like it searching and trying to open the page. I have to close and reopen my browser about 3 or 4 times before it'll actually load up. This is only happening with my internet explorer. I typed in 65.54.186.79 in the address bar and it brings up hotmail. Anyone have any ideas whats going on or how to fix it?

Try resetting IE ...
Tools > Internet Options > Last Tab (Don't remember what it's called) > Reset

try clearing your cookies and cache (you'll have to login to all your websites again)
disable auto connection detect: (internet options -> connections -> LAN settings -> "automatically detect settings"
Also do a spyware scan...it's possible your browser got hijacked by malware.
or just give up on IE and use a REAL browser

what version of IE do you have installed?
and what Anti-virus are you using?
The reason I ask is because I had a problem with IE8 taking a long time to launch the first time, and I found out it was AVG causing it.

safari is pretty flawed as well, on the security front
