slow website

[christine rowe]

For the last couple of weeks a website that I have used regulary for a few
years now has started to take ages to open up,it works fine on other pc's so
it can't be the site itself.
A few days ago I installed IE7 and found that the site was ok,on that but as
I had so many problems with IE7,I uninstalled it and am now back with IE6
with the same problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanx

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for
malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you
owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
