I had a slow PC prob. Went through several improvement attempts - Registry cleaning/"ccleaning" download/Defrag.

After every attempt, there was an initial improvement but after each new login, the problem returned. Slow outlook access, slow Firefox bootup.

I noticed a brief "Error" message starting to flash up - "chrome" something...

A-ha.

Removed Google Chrome from c:\Programfiles.

PC now fast.

Wierd. I am having problems with firefox. It is DEAD SLOW in loading any website that seems to look for ajax.googleapis.com (i.e. most websites!). For example, it can take ages and multiple refreshes to try and get it to load the singletrack forums properly. Google Chrome seems to sort it, but I prefer firefox. Any ideas how I can fix firefox? It is the latest version. And it makes no difference whether I switch on or off the link scanning etc. for AVG anti-virus.
