john, thanks for the advice. I have ran adaware, spybot,
housecall.antivirus.com, and norton utilities. I have also found other
sites for help. They are cexx.org/lspfix.htm,
definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm, and
mvps.org/inetexplorer/parasite.htm. I have not tried them yet. There was a
discussion of this same problem under the subject "Explorer Opens Very
Slowly" which provided these sites.
