Help resolving host

[emjay]

Okay... I've found out how to re-install the plug in... hoping it's the right one; 'Kaspersky Protection' and done that and turned it back on and the problem's back. I just wanna try and solve this particular problem before I go for any drastically different measures like having no anti-virus or setting up separate users etc as BG suggested. If I don't solve it before changing my methods it will always niggle at me... so just trying to think logically about this... it's requesting a site that it clearly can't find, evidenced by the lag and then presumably time-out, so what would cause that? Has Kaspersky changed the address of something but the program still looks at the old address? If so what's requesting it and where's it getting the address from?... is it a config file somewhere? Or is it hardcoded or what? Just trying to figure out what's happening.
