IE7 & IE8 Slow Loading

My browser, and it doesn't matter which version, loads real slow. After
loaded it loads web pages fairly fast. But it take awhile to load? Other
programs load very fast, why not IE?

Hello Retired Bill,
Go to, Tools > Manage add-ons and look at what is being loaded when you
open an IE page, disable all add-ons and close IE, try and open IE, does
it open any faster ?,

Expecting a reply from me and it has been over 24 hours ?. Send me a PM
containing a link to your thread.

1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE in No Add-ons mode:

=> Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without
Add-ons; or

=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?

3. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your
subscription current, and is it supported in IE8? What anti-spyware
applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed
IE8 (if it's not a Win7 computer)?

4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
