IE6 opens much slower

J

Hi,

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

My first suspicion would be Norton, which is notorious for bogging down a
PC.

Thanks - 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?
