Faster IE 8?
 

Is it my imagination or has the latest batch of updates for XP caused IE8 to load and become ready for action more quickly than before? It used to take so long that I was worried that I had caught some malware, but Malwarebytes and Super Antispyware found nothing as did Avast. After applying Microshaft's latest updates Explorer seems to load and is up and running much more quickly.

P.P.
