    IE8 Slow & Often Freezes


    I've been running 32bit W7 Ultimate for about 10 months & IE8 has been running fine until about 6 weeks ago.
    Since then it has become very slow at loading web pages & often freezes for absolutely no reason that I can determine.

    In fact, I've started using Firefox whenever IE becomes unbearable. Firefox never freezes & loads almost all web pages considerably faster than IE. But I really prefer using IE if only I could fix these slowness & freezing issues.


    Does anyone have any suggestions?


    Thanks.

    George.

    First
    Tools
    Internet Options
    Advanced
    Restore
    This will remove the addons which can be replaced later

    If that does not work, this will
