Windows XP and IE6 Slow Down

Gibby · #1 February 16th, 2005, 04:09 AM

I am running XP with SP2 and I just loaded Norton anti Virus 2005. In the past week or so my browser has come to a slow crawl. I have performed all the maintenance, cleaning, clearing, running spyware, etc. To load Yahoo is a 30 second ordeal. It is not like this on my other computers.

Any thoughts? Is it possible to run a rebuild rouine on IE?

By the way I added Foxfire and this is not too much better. I have added a new nic card, changed ports on the router and still slow.

Thanks for any thoughts

it could be nortons slowing you down, tell more about your computer, cpu, ram, harddrive size/space available.

Another note, I have eliminated the router and the internet is super fast.

Now to figure that out.

Thanks
