30 sec pause when going to page from address bar

[Guest]

When I type an address straight into the address bar and hit "go" or "return"
it takes 30secs before it loads the page.
Clicking on a favorite or a link from another webpage takes me there
instantly, so it's not a problem with my connection.
Can anyone please help?

Hi,
This could be a problem with AutoComplete. Delete your History folder using
the appropriate (for your OS) instructions at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

If that doesn't fix things, you may have spyware/parasites at work. Work
through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.
