Thank you for your replys
As of right now, it appears to have been the AV...
There was a phantom scan starting as a scheduled task, this is why a reboot cleared the problem for a bit, After the scheduled start (which by the way was not listed on the Task schedule ?? ) a second scan would start and eventually hang up the connection.... Did a complete un-install/re-install and so far so good..........as I probably just jinxed myself...
