I updated the Internet Explorer on my laptop a couple of days ago and things seem to be much slower and pages keep crashing / freezing. I always use broadband and have tried the connections at home and work and its still rubbish. Is there something I can do to improve it or do I need to revert back to the old version of Explorer (if so how do I do it)?

Thanks.

Use [url= http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en-GB/landing_tv.html ]chrome[/url] instead.

It's worth trying an alternative browser certainly, be that Chrome or Firefox or something else, just to see if it's browser-specific or PC-wide.

It's probably worth running a malware scan too, to rule out the possibility of an infection. The ubiquitous [url= http://malwarebytes.org/ ]MBAM[/url] is weapon of choice here.

Is it just browsing, or is it slow generally?

Serves you right for using the pile of steaming poo that is IE 😕

Chrome for a fast and simple(ish) browser, Firefox if you want lots of plugins and stuff (although I hear the latest version may not be that good)
