IE 6 Takes Forever to Load

[Dane]

Out of nowhere, my IE takes forever to fully load a
page. When you finally load it, then it takes a long
time to process a command from that page. I have deleted
my temp files, my temp internet files and history and
have tried to install a patch which did nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas what this can be from? I
didn't install or delete any programs to change my
computer's config. and from one night to the next, it is
giving me this grief.
Thanks.

Mine is exactley the same, it started a few days ago. My
buffering for dowloads always stops too.

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
CWShredder is also available here:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back

Frank, I took some tips from you and others and used my
Awaware and then unclicked the box under my IE's Internet
Options Advanced tab for not allowing the browser to
accept third party cookies and I'm up and running again.
Thanks for your help.

Dane,
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).
