IE 6 SP1 Hangs on each new web page 30sec

[Tim]

Hello, my IE 6 just started two days ago hanging on every
page for about 20-30 sec. I read your previous answer to
disable 3rd party extensions and this fixed the problem.
Is this some kind of virus? I am running windows XP and
have never had a problem with IE. My MSN was not
affected. Thank you for your advice, this is my first
visit.
God Bless,
Tim

Funny, this is exactly the same problem I'm having, and it started at the exact same time. The browser within AOL works fine..

Tim,
Disabling the 3rd party BHO is ONLY a temp measure.

The first thing to do is to scan your system for the possibility of
unknown\unwanted spyware or parasites that may be causing your problem(s).

Note: re-enable that option (if needed)
