Hi, folks,
I have a problem with Internet Explorer 8 blocking or delaying this website.
uk.moneycentral.msn.com/investor/portfolio-manager/portfolio.aspx?
As soon as I click on this URL in my favorites a closed padlock icon appears on the tool bar and it takes ages to download. I am surprized that this happens because it is MSN's website.
Is there a way to turn this feature off, please.
Thanks,
Alex
PS. No problems viewing this website in Firefox.

Its how you have IE8 setup alexham36 i think you have Internet protected Mode on if you mean IE8s tool bar ? (bottom of IE8), so right click the Lock icon and turn it off then try the website. Also look at - Go in IE8 > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced and look at your security settings.
