Question
I always get this message in IE8 that says "this tab has been recovered a problem with this webpage has cause IE to..." And as a result of that (I believe) it's making the webpages load extremely slow. The thing is I has ran Malwarebytes, ComboFix (which found an infected file and sped up the internet again) and Microsoft Essentials. But it's come back and I don't know what it could be. I've even reset IE settings, please if you have ANY suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer
You could try using the Firefox browser (free from http://www.mozilla.org/) or the Chrome browser (free from http://www.google.com/chrome/). Both of them will give you a warning if you try to go to a website that might infect your computer, so you can change your mind before it is too late. They also are more resistant to infections. I avoid using IE because it is too susceptible to infections. As for any current infections your computer might have, if you check for updates to your security products, there is a good chance they soon will be able to fix your problem. But you will be better off not using IE8 any more so you aren't always playing catch up to the infections it gives your computer.
