Internet Hanging on Windows 98 PC

[TomR100]

Hello,
I am not sure I am in the right forum or not. I figure you will tell me where to turn if I am in the wrong on.

My question/problem is as follows. When I am on the Internet and have more than one session open my PC seems to hang for a very long time and eventually my connection is dropped. I have Norton virus protection and it is updated as of 12/14/2004. This problem has been happening for a while now. I run my virus scan weekly, sometime twice a week, and it comes back saying all is well.

Is there something else I should do to my PC to get it back up and running? I do not know if there is a virus or something else causing my performance to slow down.

Thank you,
TomR100
