IE6 opens much slower now following new XP setup

[Jeffrey]

Hi,

I know this is the XP forum, but perhaps someone here can help me - I tried
the IE forum.

Recently bought a new pc and IE6 opens much slower now and the machine is
nicer than the previous one. Even clicked links that open in a window open
slowly. Any suggestions?

WindowsXP - new and updated
Norton Antivirus - new and updated
Webroot Spysweeper - new and updated
WinPatrol - previous history posed no obvious slowing
MyPopupKiller - also previous history posed no obvious slowing

Note - someone on the IE forum suggested it was a Norton issue, but there
must be something else going on here to make it take +/_
5 seconds to open or even open a new window. I have used Norton before and
IE6 didn't behave this way?

Machine specs?
You have a lot of crap running in the background (active protection..)
What does your virtual memory usage look like?

Your system has 5 applications processing each web-page that you open:

Norton Antivirus - new and updated
Webroot Spysweeper - new and updated
WinPatrol - previous history posed no obvious slowing
MyPopupKiller - also previous history posed no obvious slowing

plus anything that IE6 performs. IE6 has a Popup Killer built-in ... did
you turn it off since you have a third-party one?
The others are overkill on each other.
