IE 6 Slow updating

[sailmon]

I am running IE6 on 98 SE. After opening a few pages this occurs when
clicking on a link, or after inputting information (like on autotrader),
going to a new page, etc. -- There will be a several second delay before the
data or new 'click' starts any activity. The new page will download quickly
and then freeze for 8 to 20 seconds (if progress bar is shown it will be
frozen in the 'completed' postion; i.e. the bar will have moved all the way
to the right. During the 'freeze', you cannot scroll or input data, though
the attempted inputs will be saved and multiple scrolling will happen all at
once when unfrozen. I run Spyware and Adaware. Don't know of any accidental
settings I've changed though it's possible I did. Netscape runs fine on the
same machine.... Hope someone has some advice... (Jan - I hope your
listening).... Thanks.

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
