whenever i try to close a PAGE while on the internet, everything closes and i go right back to my desktop. my computer seems to be running slower too. i have mcfee and have ran disk clean up and defragmented it. any suggestions?What browser, version?i have windows xp. i disabled the add ons that say browser helper object and that seems to have fixed the problem. now, are they useless items or will i need to enable them to use some things. here is a list of what i disabled:
       Adobe PDF link helper
       AOL toolbar launcher
       AOL search hook class
       askbar BHO
       CBrowser helper object
       gamevance
       gamevance class
       gamevance text
       google dictionary comp
       google toolbar helper
       google notifier
       java(tm) plug-in 2 SSV
       JQSIE start detector imp
       McAfee phishing filter
       msn toolbar helper
       scriptproxy
       search helper
       yahoo IE services button
       yahoo toolbar helper

my computer still seems to be a little slower while on the internet and freezes up on occasions.  should i also disable items that says browser extension?

thanks for the help You probably should disable all extra browser add-ons to free up some resources. I would ADVISE to try using a different browser and see if that HELPS. I PERSONALLY prefer Firefox. In my experience it beats Internet Explorer in pretty much every category. The only sites you might have problems with are those which use ActiveX and possibly ASP. Good luck.You still didn't answer what browser, what version?
It looks like you have a bunch of useless toolbars. Quote from: Broni on March 19, 2009, 05:52:16 PM
