| 535461 | 2007-03-29 23:28:00 | If u had Avast Pro the web shield option will slow surfing down. As I think it scans everything on every site you go to. Thats why I disabled it. Had the same issues with McAfee suite on new Dell box with Vista Home Prem too, un-installed it and away we go, just put AVG on and let the windows 2 way firewall and windows defender take care of the rest. |

| 535464 | 2007-03-30 03:34:00 | Also bear in mind that IE7 uses a phising filter which scans each page before you can view it. This could also be hampering the speed of the sites. | jamesmcphersonvrx22rochel (11915) | ||

| 535466 | 2007-03-30 05:39:00 | You sure can, just thought i would check this. Another note too, some hardware firewalls will not work with IE7 a prime example of this are the SonicWall series, they will not work under IE7. |
