does anybody know anything about the web browser called opera? or know of any other web browers that are fast?

@steve last time IE8 was slowing up for me i switched to chrome and it worked a lot faster..but now its slowing again!

what kinna computer do u have steve? and what virus protection do you use?

do u suggest i uninstall chrome and IE8?

I've used every browser, chrome is the fasted for me.

Manually clear the cache folder which should be located

C:Users / Computer Username Here / AppData / Local / Google / Chrome / User Data / Default / Cache

Delete what's in there

Have you scanned your computer for malware? might wanna give that a go.

how do you do that exactly?

try http://malwarebytes.org/ download the free version on the left

just do some routine stuff get a free trial of mcafee or bullgaurd of their websites run disk cleanup and disk defragmantation

erm also try to find a free registry cleaner delete old crappy files hope that helps good luck

if its only been the last 5 days, type system restore into the search for files and folders, restore to a point before all this happened. it wont delete programs but it will revert your registry. if all that doesnt work, mail me it sounds like it could be a dns virus

The signs you mentioned belongs to Internet Slow down, don't seems like there is any problem in your Browser. 1st check your ISP. Well it could be some kind of virus, or trajon (check windows / virus update, if no antivirus install one from http://free.avg.com/ or http://www.free-av.com/ or http://www.avast.com/). You can confirm by using different browser such as firefox.

You should have one antivirus installed and upto date.

Also, if still problem persists, then download "hijackthis" and then send me the logs, i might help.

BUT DON"T DO ANY THING BY YOURSELF ON THE BASIS OF HIJACKTHIS's LOGS, get expert opinion.

Best of luck
