When closing a tab in internet explorer 8.0 it takes forever.

When closing a tab in internet explorer 8.0 it takes forever. Even when I have only 3 tabs open. I use to be able to have 8+ tabs open in two different sessions with no issues. Nothing new has been added or deleted from the computer.

Also open a new tab take very long, not as long as closing a tab.

I have deleted cookies, files ect in internet options/del browsing history. I also ran Avast, SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Ccleaner.

Open internet explorer > type in 'google' > type in 'chrome' > download > install > use chrome

Is that the latest IE add-on?

You could try this MS fixer. I'm dubious about "fixers" but it's from the horse's mouth.

Sorry, not a fan of chrome. I have seen it slow down way too many computers. I will try the "diduknowthat" solution 1st.
