759770 2009-03-26 09:29:00 Hmmm, download firefox or chrome and see if you have the same problem.

IE sucks anyways

Or-go to IE, Tools>Options>Advanced Tab>Restore advanced settings

See if that helps

How long have you had this problem for? Only recently? Did you install a program that could be causing this?

759771 2009-03-26 09:38:00 Theres nothing wrong with IE - Sheeeet ,IE on all 6 PC's here that get used daily is faster than FF. On this PC I hardly use FF now, as IE leaves it for dead speed wise.


Using I Explorer, Free Mcafee, All web sites.Wired

The highlighted will more than likely be your problem.

Today alone I Have uninstalled that crap twice , and instantly the customers Internet worked as its meant to.

McAfee in any form is well known to cause Internet problems, I suspect its scanning the web pages before it lets them load.

759773 2009-03-26 10:01:00 What type of router do you have?

The router should be connected to the net all the time, unless you turn it on and off.

Is it webpages that are slow or is it slow when you turn your computer on and get an IP address from your router?

I agree with wainuitech, McAfee is not the best.
