I too noticed a very slow Internet Explorer 8 after downloading it.
I would have reverted back to Internet Explorer 6 but there is much todo
about possible holes that could allow hackers or somebody so I didn't do it.
I too sent in to this site for a solution.
I too received an answer asking if I had installed any add ons.
So, I responded that I didn't know what an add on was, I simply down
loaded Internet Explore 8. It is so slow I can almost drink a cup of coffee
while waiting for it to load.
Does anyone honestly think that Internet Explorer will ever fix this problem
or are they going to let the customer gain patience with the problem.
If no one has a quality or a good answer than they should not respond to
these questions, giving the impression that they know how to fix it.
I would revert to Internet Explorer 7 but I read horror stories about it.
Evidently the problem is not wide spread or it would be addressed often.

Did you have enough common sense to shut down Norton 360 before you
downloaded the updates, and uninstall said updates if you were having
problems?
