IE6.0 web pages freeze (hang) for minute

[Wammy]

Hello,
My IE6.0 web pages load normally but freeze (hang) for one
minute before I can do anything with them. I cannot scroll
or click them. This happens for ALL pages. All my other
programs work fine.

First eliminate any scumware.
See

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
CWShredder is also available here:

Alternative download pages for Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis and CWShredder
may be found on this page:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.

Here's the fix that worked for me
Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced then UNCHECK "Enable
third-party browser extensions"
then reboot.
Worked for me hope it helps someone else.

I had the same thing happened to me. The problem was with a program called NetPal. Go to Symantec's website and they will walk you through the removal of it. Completely cured my problem......

Wammy,
I've got the same problem. This just started in the past two days. I cleaned out cookies, temp files, history, reinstalled WindowsXP, and I still have the problem. In addition, I note that some have mentioned to clear "enable third party cookies" on one of the properties tabs, and I can't find it either. Sigh. Been trying to fix this for 12 hours.

I cannot locate that within my "advanced" tab

Wammy,
The first thing to do is to scan your system for the possibility of
unknown\unwanted spyware or parasites that may be causing your problem(s).
