You may have some malware running in the background. Malware /= virus. You may have anit-virus software but make sure you have adware/malware software too.
Go old school and run Adaware (but very bloated now days imho). Or new school and go with malwarebytes. Install and scan with one of those. Trendmicro has an online scanner too.
Spybot is the old faithful. Has been free and has had great utility for years now. Install, update and scan.
Mensaguy has a good point too, delete your cookies and temp Internet files. In IE, tools/options/general tab::delete cookies and delete files and check the box to delete all offline content.
even some virus scanners can cause the slowdown in question.
This thread exhibits the best of the forum. A problem was presented and suggestions were made and tried. A possible solution was posted, including an explanation of how and why it works. The OP confirmed that the problem was fixed. A celebration is in order.
One of the possible fixes for the OP was to uninstall IE8 and reinstall IE7. The problem was a setting with Google that got fixed.
Now I still have IE7 should I go back to IE8 or leave IE7 since everything is working fine?
