Ages to load

jodun_2

Hi
When I open a new tab in IE it's taking AGES for it to load up. This happens when I first open IE, open an additional tab or click on a link in an email or a web page. Does anyone know how I can speed it up? It never used to be this slow!
Thanks.

have you cleared all temorary files and your history?

Have you done a full virus scan? If you are using IE you are probably infected with something.

Temp. files and history cleared, and no virus.

reboot

Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')

Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running

Use firefox instead - I find it quicker.

Also maybe run a malwarebytes scan?

possibly an add on that is causing issues. If you have any disable 1 at a time and see if that helps

Well I've done the Malware scan, it didn't find anything:

When I try to do the Hijackthis one I get this message:

For some reason your system denied access the the Hosts file. If any hijacked domains are in this file, HijackThis may NOT be able to fix this.

If that happens, you need to edit the file yourself. To do this, click Start, Run and type;

notepad C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

and press Enter. Find the lines(s) HijackThis reports and delete them. Save the file as 'Hosts'. (with quotes) and reboot.


What next?

Try right click hijackthis, run as administrator.
