IE 8 is loading and surfing the internet way to slow.  Just went thru with SuperDave in cleaning out this computer.  I have defragged.

Was it always this way or is this a recent development? Just for testing purposes have you tried a different browser (Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc)?

SuperDave did not give me a clean bill of health, just asked how everything was.  I had relevant knowledge I could not get rid of, so far seems we did,  :) :)
Yes, IE has been slow for sometime.  I will try Firefox again.  Can't remember why i took it out.

How about trying Opera or Chrome because they are both a lot less resource intensive than firefox and IE.

This is probably a ridiculous question but I'll ask anyway.  During that process of working with SupreDave, did you clear the browser history in all browsers?
