Hi all...in just the last week or so my IE v6 has been taking a long time to load. it takes about 30sec after i hit the IE icon for the window just to pop up. i have scanned my computer for spyware & virusus and came up clean. I do have a HighjackThis log for you to review...could really use your help on this, thanks. Let me know if anyone would like to take a look at it.

Well...Its Microsoft firstly!

I suggest that you look into switching browsers,I have'nt used IE in a long time now,Once you go FireFox you'll never go back

You will still need IE for windows update and other pages such as web based av or malware scans that use Active X.

Try going to "tools"/"Internet options"

Delete temporary internet files, then delete cookies, and then click on clear history.

That may speed up opening IE.

Try a few web based scans:

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Web Scanner

Panda Activescan

Windows Security Trojanscan

Have you done the basics (I'm sure you have)

Delete cookies
Delete history
Delete Temp files
Run disk cleanup

If not, it will make a difference. Oh and by the way I was a hard core IE fan. I did not touch it for 3 weeks to force myself to use FireFox. It's very quick and pleasent. I don't mind IE but now I rather FF.
Just a note.
