Question about web-scanning Lars-Erik Østerud 12-29-2005

When I download a web-page I cannot scroll down anymore until the
complete page is loaded (all images). If I do the areas are not
redrawn properly (just copies parts of the text, looks terrible, as if
the redraw function does not work). Could this be related to avast!
web-scanning, or is it an IE problem (no problem on another PC here).

Yes, that bugs me too, And I don't have Avast. The rendering engine of your
browser is what's doing the re-drawing...that's just the way browsers work.

What I do is press the 'stop' button (the Esc key in Internet Explorer) if I
don't feel like waiting anymore. Often what's left to load is an advertising
banner, which I don't care about anyway. And yes, the rest of the page
sometimes looks terrible when I do this, because it could be missing key
bits of formatting code that haven't downloaded yet.

On the other hand, if all the components of the web page have already
downloaded, and the browser is just figuring out how to assemble the page,
pressing the 'stop' button won't make any difference.

One way to find out would be to install another browser and see what it
does at the same site. I'd recommend Firefox. It is also a modern,
secure browser.
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Further, IE has always seemed to have a problem if you don't empty the
cache and offline temporary files all the time. This isn't necessary
with Firefox.

Given all of your recent problems, Lars-Erik (http://snipurl.com/l54p), I'm
led to believe it's a problem specific to your machine.

Possibly, but since it is not possible to uninstall and reinstall IE6
(thank you MS) and I don't want to reinstall XP, well, what do I do
:-)
