HI I was wondering if I could get some help please. You see I look after the two computers in this house hold and the one I want to check for a viruses or adware is Microsoft Windows 7 home premium. You see quiet a while ago this computer had a virus on it and so I got rid of it. But now though tonight my step dad went to go on his computer and he double clicked on Internet Explorer 10 and the browser launched but it took forever for anything to come up in the browser window. I would like some ideas please what can cause this to happen and what can possibly be done to fix this problem. My step dad had to finally exit ie and double clicked it again and this time the window came up and contents was displayed in the ie window.
Some stuff that might be important
