Slow Browser in some situations (Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (SP1))

[hotmango]

Hello geniuses - Hoping you can help...

I have Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106.xpclnt_qfe.021108-2107.
Whenever I click on the blue IE icon on my desktop it now takes 10-20
seconds for Internet Explorer to load.

Also...

When I right-click on any hyperlink on a website and click on "Open In
New Window", the new window will take 10-20 seconds to open up with
the new page.

I have tried the following...

Norton Virus Scan
Norton Systemworks Checks (Disk Doctor, WinDoctor)
Disk Defragmenter
Disk Cleanup
System Restore (went back 10 days - way before the problem ever
existed.)

I even reloaded Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (SP1) over my
existing browser...and it did not work.

Now, one thing to note. Once I get to any website, there is no speed
problem going from hyperlink to hyperlink to hyperlink. Hence, the
only problems are the ones I list above.

Can anyone assist?

Forever greatful,

Mike Hotmango

Mike,

I went to that page. There was so much to look at and to click on. What do
I download? I've already used Ad-aware to rid 54 items. I'm still having
the same problem.

Thank you.

Halle,

"I've already used Ad-aware to rid 54 items"

Make sure to update Ad-Aware via online, then rescan, then reboot.
Next, run HijackThis and post your log to their Forum.
