IE6 very slow opening!

[Dave]

For the last couple of weeks my Internet Explorer browser has been extremely
slow opening. I have the Comcast home page set as my default and it takes
as much as 20 seconds to open. I thought it was their web site but is the
same when changed to other pages.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what would cause it? Thanks

I've done several scans and none have found any. I just uninstalled IE and
reinstalled it. It seems somewhat faster now. We'll see. Thanks!
