    I also used this registry trial www.liutilities.com and it said i had 289 problems. Is there a free one out there i could use? Or can you reccomend a cheap one?

    IE7 seems to be troublesome at times. Are you using the phishing filter? It will slow down page loads, try shutting it off. Have you cleared your browsing history? You can find that in Tools. Also here is an IE fix-it tool. (never used it)

    Many of the folks on MG use other browsers, like FireFox, Opera, or K-Meleon (my choice). You can install one or more browsers and use which suits you best.

    As for the registery cleaner, this is a good safe one. Setting the right options will also clean your browser history.

    I am using a phishing filter.Hi! I am not sure what to do, but my computer locks up for about 40 seconds and then it tells me this.A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"Can you please help me?
    Thanks,
