Internet Browser help.
 

Why is it when i open IE, the page doesn't load right away.. its pauses for a few seconds, and it says "detecting proxy settings" on the bottem.. Then loads the page... SHould i just get Opera or something else? Can anyone help? :(

I wouldn't worry about it to much. Its just George Bush, coolwebsearch and a few other spyware programs logging all your interweb moves

Um... have you investigated the outside possibility that IE might be spending time detecting your proxy settings?

tools >> Intenet options >> Connections >> LAN Settings Button >> uncheck any proxy boxes that are checked.

Open your browser, click on Tools at the top, click on the Connections tab. In the white box called Dial-Up and Virtual Private Network settings, what's in there? Mine has nothing.

On a sidenote, you should try out Firefox. I was using Netscape/MSIE for years and don't use them at all anymore. Firefox is way faster, more safe, and is actually pretty stable and bug free. I have no problems using it compared to MSIE and Netscape, which is now a bloated slug. :upsidedow

Damn, you're fast! But yeah, what he ^ said!
