Computer slows after ebay surfing

A friend browses through eBay and says that the longer she's on the slower the computer gets.

Discounting over heating, what say you?

Do a spyware/adware/malware sweep, then flush the IE cache and cookies using ccleaner. Then set the cache size to say 60 MB instead of whatever 1000+ MB figure it has defaulted to.

or even x3 !

Hmmm... are any toolbars or browser add-ons intended to aid in using Ebay installed on that system?

If so, get rid of them.
