Lets check the basics first:. In Internet Explorer got to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced. Under the Browsing heading ensure both of the "Disable script debugging" items are checked. Uncheck "Disable Display a notification about every script error".

Reset Internet Explorer Settings

A colleague brought to my attention you have a few McAfee related items on your computer and, if I'm right, they could possibly be related to firewall rules.


We can remove those to see if this could have an influence on your web pages loading.

Start Farbar Recovery Scan Tool - Right click on the FRST icon and select Run as administrator

Right click/highlight on the text below and select Copy.
beginning with Start:: and finishing with End::


Start::
CloseProcesses:
CreateRestorePoint:
R1 mfenlfk; C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\mfenlfk.sys [75288 2010-05-31] (McAfee, Inc.)

S3 mferkdet; C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\mferkdet.sys [93840 2010-05-31] (McAfee, Inc.)
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\mferkdet.sys

Emptytemp:
End::


Press the Fix button.
If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post it to your reply.

Couple things we can try

Start Farbar Recovery Scan Tool with Administrator privileges

or Right click on the FRST icon and select Run as administrator

Right click/highlight on the text below and select Copy.
beginning with Start:: and finishing with End::


Start::
CloseProcesses:
CreateRestorePoint:
Hosts:
CMD: netsh advfirewall reset
CMD: netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state ON
CMD: ipconfig /flushdns
CMD: netsh winsock reset catalog
CMD: Bitsadmin /Reset /Allusers
Emptytemp:
End::


Press the Fix button.
If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post it to your reply.
