IE.6 Slow To Open

I have a Dell4400 P4 1.6, 700 mb of ram 20g hard drive
Originally when began, I would access the explorer
browser and it would dispaly within 1 to 2 seconds, after
about 12 to 16 months things began to slow down to about
18 sec.to opem the browser. I contacted Dell they
suggested I wipe the hard drive and re-load everything,
adding that the slow down was par for having and PC 12 to
16months old, that this pretty much happens to everyones
PC and that this would correct the problem.

Well I wasn't fond of the idea, and equally not sure of
how to go about the process, backing up files and the
like. So I did the next best thing, I select a new
browser, netscape in fact. I've really had no problems
with netscape, but again I'm not very fond of the it, the
look of it specifically, the way it displays favorites,
colors, it's bland looking etc. So I'm slowly coming
around to the idea of taking the original suggestion from
Dell, of taking everything off the hard drive and loading
it back up.

But before I dive in I wanted to ask if anyone has had a
similar problem with IE.6, any feed back would be greatly
appreicated, I can be reached directly at cicerozo(but
remove thisfirst)@netscape.net thanks again

Best Regards, Joe

HijackThis (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip) is the
preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both identify and remove
any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
