Hi Everybody,

In the last month, my internet explorer, has kept 'hanging' when reaching a
website. Even when running about:blank!
After 10 minutes or so, it shows the actual website.

I have run a dozen of Antivirus, spyware & Adware removal software. Etc..
but it still does it. The weird thing is, that its mostely only the first
time you open the window. If i open the window, go to a website.. waits the
10 minutes. And then browses so a new site, its normally done instantly.

Can it be because I have disabled the run of some services?

Best Regards
Ken Christensen

Try cleaning your Temporary Internet Files and see if that helps.

Start | Control Panel | Internet Options | Genearl | Steeings | View Files |
Edit | Select All - then hit delete key. Then click Ok. On the General Tab,
click on Clear History.

Also run these programs to be sure there are no

Soorry, my mousie got antsy and jumped on the Send key before I had added
the other programs. ;-)

It is possible you may have parasites, spyware, adware,
malware, or hijackware on your system causing the problem.
Download and install, you *must* update the programs prior
to running to be sure they have the latest definitions, then
run the programs below. They are free and very effective. Be
sure to run both SpyBot and Adaware, as what one does
not detect the other may. It is important that you follow all
directions carefully:

SpyBot Search & Destroy: Free

or
http://majorgeeks.com/download2471.html

AdAware: Free

or

Hope these will also help.
