[Guest]

for some reason my computer slows at msn, windows update, and microsoft sites while running internet explorer. the computer runs fine while visiting other websites, it freezes or slows when at the above sites.
i have had difficulty downloading updates if i can get the page to load. all other programs are running well. i have used ad-aware and macafee.
any help is appreciated.

Probably traffic at the sites. I find that these sites slow
quite often.
