Hey all. For the last couple of days IE6 has ground to a halt (takes minutes
to load a page). Online games and downloading are still fine! I tried
spyware removers but it's still the same. Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks all

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
