Internet Explorer 8 is too slow
In the case that you’ve upgrade your Internet Explorer to version 8 and a clear slowdown is noticed when the opening the browser or the browser crashes when you try opening tabs, the logical step is to scan for viruses or malwares.
- But sometimes this doesn’t work and as result your IE8 is still to slow.
- IE 8 has its own system of protection against malicious sites. As a result, there would be conflicts when changing the hosts file (with the anti-spyware installed to protect your PC).
- Another factor is that it may be due to a badly declared File System
- In any case, we are still waiting for updates from Microsoft to resolve these problems.
Here below is a small tip helping you to manage with this problem.
- Close your browser and all applications before you proceed throughout the manipulation.
(WithVista, disable UAC before)
