Excessive time loading pages

[Joe]

I have recently run into a problem with IE6.Web pages are
taking forever to load now.Upwards of 15 to 20 seconds
for a page to completely load.This is happening at all
sites.I have tried to fix the problem on my own and with
Comcast but without success.Any/all ideas/suggestions are
welcome.Thanks in advance...

Go to Tools, Internet Options, delete cookies and delete
files. While offline defrag your hard disk.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
