About the reported problem, I installed the free version of Avast antivirus on another my PC with Windows XP SP3 and Internet Explorer 8. I noticed that Avast, with a few tweaks to the settings, performs very well on this operating system, and that , as I imagined, Avast! Online Security is active on IE 8 and it works wonders.
I strongly hope that with the next version of Avast the problem in IE 11 is resolved.
I say this because the much-vaunted Google Chrome (I use sometimes as Firefox) seems to have become a complex machine which not only weigh a lot, it takes 15 to 25 seconds just to open the home page even when set to "New card ". In comparison, with the home page "Google", IE 11 is very fast and is very fast also in navigation.
We also appreciate sometimes the Microsoft products!
