Hi,

I have had a problem with internet explorer since wednesday of last week,
everytime I load it, I can go away and make a cup of tea and it is still
loading, but on my other system and laptop it loads up straight away.

This is getting very fustrating, as it does it on all webpages I go on, I
had to us mozilla just to post this message.

First eliminate any spyware.

you try to remove spyware using any of these programs , download a copy of

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

If this problem is connected in time to the IE security update, then you
might try uninstalling the Google toolbar, if you use it, and reinstall
after a reboot.
