IE freeze problem

I have noticed that when my internet connection is active, and the computer goes into idle mode because I haven't used it for some time, that it very often freezes. Nothing helps but a new start. While trying out a utility, I found out something very interesting. As long as this utility is running in the background, the computer does not freeze. The utility is called NetMonitor. I got it from PC World. The NetMonitor monitors the net connection and gives useful information about routing and transfers. It has a function that keeps your internet connection active, which, in turn, keeps your computer from freezing.

To activate the "StayAlive" - Rightclick the NetMonitor window, select Options, choose the General tab and check the option Stay Connected.
