In windows xp, my internet explorer 8 is not working properly. Scrolling down a page is not smooth, it scrolls in spurts and when i try to search sometimes it does it quick, and sometimes it seems like it is being redirected. I have checked the host file, which is fine. Also, microsoft outlook does not delete items right away. any suggestions? I have ran virus scan and anti spyware and nothing was found.

Best solution: Get Firefox

In the advanced internet options, you can enable smooth scrolling. If it's enabled and it's still choppy, check the device manager to make sure there are no conflicts on your video drivers.

The nature of web browsing is some sites come up fast and some don't. It depends on the site your connecting to as much as your own network.

I have heard IE8 is a bit flaky though. You may want to go back to IE7 or as jf812 mentioned above, try firefox. Personally, I like firefox over IE.

Hi, this is Feran with the Internet Explorer Outreach Team. You may want to try enabling the Compatibility Mode (broken page icon next to the refresh button on the toolbar).

Hope that helps...

Internet Explorer does that...there tons of other good browsers. However make sure you video drivers are up to date and the right ones, and you can try reseting internet explorer in options :)
