Delayin Browsing

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

i hope i can find answers here with you because i cannot
find any over the web or anywhere eslse.
i am an advanced user myself but this one is a bit
eluding me.
for some reason when i open my computer it takes a while
untill it shows all the drives in it, the problem (i
think) also affects IE when typing an address in the
address bar it takes long time untill it actually starts
the browsing.

Any ideas?

Regards,

First thing comes to mind is trojans, spyware, adware and virus. You can
use these sites to check
Also, it could be a incompatiblile device driver.

I ran into a similar problem the other day. A double click on My Computer
would take several minutes to open. The culprit turned out to be a web
add-on called "Incredibar".

After removing "Incredibar" the problems were gone.
