Extrem slow Browser startup

Hi there,
I am currently having a problem with my IE, when I start it up, it will start ok, but it is inactive for a extreamly long time, 2-3 min.

I'm running Trend PCCillin, and downloadet Ad-aware, SpyBot and Hijackthis, read thru most of the posts in the forum, but the problem is still there

Including latest log:

Please Help....

Iversen, Denmark

Hello again..

All other functionality seems to work fine, and when the browser first is "active" it works fine... even Ctrl+O (Open new browser) works fine ???
Only when I start the IE from the shortcut..

Ping to the hosts works fine to..

Regards
Iversen....

Iversen,
I experienced same problem some week ago, I've solved it keeping hosts file very small and clean.

Hope this help,

Hi Iversen,

Your log looks clean. One line is questionable:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName = Hyperlinks

Has anything changed in the past couple of days?

Please post a fresh HijackThis log.
