Please state your full Windows version (e.g., Vista SP1; Vista x64 SP2) when
posting to this newsgroup. In this case, also state your current IE
version.

Is this computer fully-patched at Windows Update? [KB931768 (MS07-027) has
been superseded many times since its release in May 2007!!]

Do you have Spybot installed and fully Immunized? Do you have ZonedOut
installed?

Last but not least, are you seeing slow performance in WindowsMail?
