Stange Behaviour w ethernet and some browsers

So my ethernet connection appears to be dropping intermittintly but only in my main login, if I go to a guest account I appear to have no issues. oddly as well when using brave browser some days it works fine and others it will load for example outlook but no other webpages. I then revert to safari which seems to be working fine but the net connection in my main login has intermittent issues. I have moved to wifi but this also seems problematic on the main account login.


Some days there are no issues whatsoever


Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated

Mac Studio, macOS 14.6

By far the easiest way to cause poor performance, instability, overheating and crashing is to install ANY third-party speeder-uppers, Cleaners, Optimizers, or Virus scanners, Bit Torrent, or a VPN that you installed yourself. They are relentless in scanning your files, non-stop, looking for virus-like patterns in Everything, or looking for files that have changed. When completed, they do it all again.


¿are you running anything like that?
