go to ie9 tools/ clicking Internet Options./Browsing history/ and empty your cache everytime you go on a web site some of it is stored in the cache . and i run Spybot - Search & Destroy once a week to route out any bad sites http://www.safer-networking.org/en/o...rs1/index.html

Disk cleaner is also a good cleanup app (I use it)

www.diskcleaner.nl/download


It may be your ISP slowing down also (It might not be your computer (Hopefully it isnt))


Good luck

Re: stupid pc!!!

One thing to check make sure you only have one version of Adobe Flash installed. More than one affects IE9 badly.
