I'm new here and hesitate to comment. Is IE always slow? My down load speed varies from 1.50 to .50. MBPS .When my down load is .50, my PC is very slow. I'm along ways from the office and I'm on copper, so my download is as fast as I can get . Next time you experience a slow browser, check your down load speed
here.. Certain times of the day I'm really slow, other times it's tolerable. Never fast enough for me. Would like at least 10.0 MBPS. Never happen where I am. Also check what's running and if you have a CPU hog.
If I'm stepping on toes, please inform me, and I'll mind my own business. Defrag will not help this, but you should schedule defrag at least once a month. This is a great forum and I don't want to step on any toes and hope this comment is taken in the manner of me just wanting to help some one. Please tell me to back off if I'm out of line.
Thank you!!

PS !A chkdsk might help. CCleaner is freeware that will clean up your PC and is very safe.
