slow browser
vista, ie7, toshiba.
The comp has been doing great, have not done anythign to it of recent, not at least since my last thread about my printer not working.
Two days ago I go online and everything is slow. It is the browser, not the connection. It types super slow in the address bar but does fine like here on FTE typing this. Switching between tabs is slow and there is a hang-up when a page is loading up.
Watching online videos is fine, the download speed is fine. My other comp (dell, xp, ie7) works fine.
I been searching the internet for a solution but can not come across any that have worked.
I have ran a scan with mcaffee and avg with the latest updates. I have turned off my add-ons and cleaned the temp files, cache, ect...
The comp has been restarted several times, the phishing filter is disabled.
Thank you.

Task manager? I looked and I have no idea about it. There are processes running but I don't know what all of them mean. ie7 is using by far the most at 76k, the next closest is like 3k and it says "dwm" and it says its a system something or other.
I have spybot, RD resident.

Forget about the memory usage column..
The one that is most important is the CPU column.. Click on the column heading CPU and sort so the highest one is at the top..
Usually it is system idle process and it can be up to 99% meaning nothing is running..
Let me know what are the other high ones.. Say the top 4 would probably be good enough..

Ok, I hope this is the right info.
I am in task manager and under the process tab. I see user name, CPU, memory, description.
The CPU it lists.....taskmgr***** (4), iexplore***** (2), dwm***** (1), TeaTimer***** (1), avgas***** (1).
But the last 4 sort of randomly switch places and become a 1 or 2 and taskmanger sometimes becomes a 3. Also some hpquste comes in and TCRtray comes to.

If it does it doesn't appear that any one program is bogging down the system..
I don't have any other ideas at the moment.. Sorry

I seem to remember some MS update that screwed mine up about the same time I updated to IE7. Can't recall the name, but I had to uninstall or delete it. And it was rediculously slow. Whatever it was used up 98%, and the performance graph in my little icon bar at the lower right was bright green.
MS blaster comes to mind, but I might be wrong.
Then again, I'm on XP, so it's most likely not what you have. Sorry.
