For the last week IE 6 has been running very slow. Sometimes you have to click on a link twice to get it to open. I have run the SpyBot with no infections. I have used the C Cleaner to check for issues. None found.

I have XP Pro.

Any ideas?

Hello and welcome to TSF :wave:

please try this

Open IE and go to Tools => Internet Options => Advanced and uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions" (requires restart). Try opening links after you rebooted and let us know if you still have a problem.
