Hey Cossie,

The time your browser takes to load up (open up for the first time) isn't directly related to the speed of your internet (at least as far as I know). Have a look at your processor usage to determine if something if consuming all the CPU and if that is the case, post back with the name of the process.

If that is not the case, try a different browser to see if the problem persists. If it does that more then likely the cause it a virus. We'll get to that later.
