I just reformatted, and I have AVG, MS Anti-Spyware.
Problem: Both Opera and Firefox load incredibly slowly, and surfing sites like LJ Friends list makes it CRAWL down the pages. IE runs full speed and is blowing them away. How can this be? What would cause my other browsers to slow down? It even takes time for them to load in the taskbar. I turned off AVG and MS AS, I turned off Windows firewall.

I've never experienced this before. TIA
