Hi,
For firefox (3.6.4) I found browser became unresponsive for 30s
every couple of minutes; after checking this was not down to
any add-on (eg auto-session saving) with process_monitor found
that slow down was accompanied by TCP http access to a site with address
www2.bundletech.com
I do not know which web site I use which causes this access so am
after any strategies to identify it and hopefuly give me an alert message
if it recurs ?

Cheers. Paul

[1. Currently using vista firewall maybe a more elaborate(free ?) firewall
would give me this option.
2. Am using firefox noscript add-on option and did not afaik enable this site
so curious why there is access to this site (I guess add-on blocks
java scripts from this site but does not block another enabled site
sending data to an arbitrary site)
3. could keep process monitor running looking for tcp accesss to this
site however it slows down firefox and cannot give an alert
4 could block IP access by editing hosts file
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts but this will not tell me what
is making the call - potentially calling script will give a diagnostic though ]
