Additionally, if you have a router, are you running some sort of filtering on it? This might be blocking the traffic that you want to see.
I do have to agree with the other posters here though, the site does seem to be rather graphic intensive and takes a long time to load, with or without protection.

Not for me. First visit: 30 seconds to load, and that's without anything cached. I've tried almost all the site's links and most boot in 5 to 10 seconds.
And believe me there is nothing special about my laptop: 80 G harddrive with almost no room left; 2 G memory; Pentium M, 2Ghz, 798 Mhz. Moreover, this is an issue -- as she describes -- with two special characteristics: it happens in both IE7 and Firefox; and it only seems to happen with this site.
BTW, has she told us if she has updated to the new Firefox 3.0.4 yet? I'd like to know what would happen if she completely uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled. I'd also like to know what would happen if she simply left the computer sitting there loading the site for an hour.
The odd thing is that I can navigate most of the www.game.co.uk site. It's just when I try to go to a specific product page that I get the problems. Whilst this does suggest that I might be blocking some of the content I'm puzzled as to how given I get the same issue when I disable anything which might potentially be causing the problem, e.g. NIS2009, the IEPro plugin, IE7 pop-blocker etc.
I do have a few port forward rules for games such as Company of Heroes, Medieval II Total War and Call of Duty 4 but I don't see how these could be causing the problem as http traffic should be routed on port 80 anyway and I don't have any filters on this. Even if I did, all it would be doing would be routing http traffic to my PC, which is what is happening by default anyway.
Other people running NIS2009 have been able to access the page without any issue so it would seem to suggest a browser related issue. Has anyone one else who uses the IE7Pro plugin been able to load the full page?
Hi Mercia,
I'm not using IEPro, but could you provide a link to the specific product page that is not loading completely?
We'd be happy to check it out.
Hi Phil
I think the link is on page 1 of this thread.
Oooops!
Thanks mo.
FWIW: IE7, cleared cache, current cable speed: 19019 / 1319 kb/s.
The page took 20 seconds to load; subsequent visit took 15 seconds.
We'll keep at it Mercia, someone in here will have an answer.

I have and I had no problems. Anyway, IE7Pro is IE7 specific, so that wouldn't explain your having the same issues with Firefox. In fact, there is very little in common between the two programs except their use of common OS software, like display adaptors, graphics drivers, etc. And that would seem to be where the problem would have to have its roots.
Any other thoughts, anyone?
try to reset the internet option and restore advance settings , try to uninstall nis and look if the same issue …
I just restored the machine to it's recovery image (held on a separate partition). This formats the C: drive before restoring the image to the day the PC was shipped to me. So this has no NIS2009 and no other software other than that which Dell bundle with their machines.
I tried the link (original post of this topic) and it wouldn't display anything more than the banner. So the issue seems not to be with NIS2009 for certain. I am still perplexed as to what could be causing this problem though.
