problem with internet explorer

[name]

Hi.


Lately I appear to be having a problem with internet explorer and I
have no idea how to solve it.
I use IE 6 under win XP pro and recently had to re-install all my
software because of a HD crash. Now IE is behaving rather odd. For
instance, a website like www.m-w.com that I often use refuses to load.
When I open the page, it loads fine, but when I enter a word to look it

up, it takes an extremely long time to load. It will first display the
top part of the page in a few seconds, then it waits for a few minutes
(normally webpages completely load in a few seconds) and then finally
the complete webpage is displayed..
I'm quite sure the problem is not with www.m-w.com since I have the
same problem on other websites. Strangely, I don't seem to be having
this problem with all websites though (groups.google.com is working
fine for instance).


Kind regards and thanks in advance for any suggestions, Niek

But I use updated versions of AVG (free version), AdAware SE, Spybot
S&D and SpywareBlaster. I'll do some online scans though, but I doubt a
virus or spamware are the issue. I recently re-installed everything and
didn't browse a lot of (suspicious) websites.
