A friend asked me for help but I have to confess I haven't got a clue this

time - I hope someone here can help.

 

She is finding that some websites are taking ages to load but others are

perfectly OK. She's using XP-SP2, IE6 and is on AOL. I've cleared cookies,

temp.

internet files, and history and her antivirus is up to date and scanned but

found nothing. I'm going to check for trojans and spyware next.

 

One example and something that is consistently repeatable is that if she

goes to Google.co.uk and selects pages from the UK, then enters "nrec" (not

sure of the significance of nrec [without the quotes]) into the search bar,

the results page takes about 30 to 45 seconds to load and the processor

useage goes up to 100%.

 

This happens every time we try it on her machine but, of course, doesn't

happen on mine. Any ideas anyone?

 

TIA,

 

John
