Typing URL into Address Bar hangs IE

[Shawn Holland]

When I type a URL into the address bar the animation in the right-hand
corner runs for about four seconds, then I hear a click, then IE hangs.
Attempts to do anything, including menu items and toolbar buttons results
in a (not responding) added to the title bar.

IE Info:
Version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633
Cipher Strength: 128-bit
Update Versions:; SP1; Q828750; Q330994; Q824145;
Q832894; Q837009; Q831167;

If I use a bookmark or click on a link, everything works fine.
I've run Lavasoft & SpySweep which found traces of malware and got rid of
them, no change. I've tried to re-install IE with no success. I've also run
BHODaemon which came up with nothing unusual; AcroRead, Google, and Norton
AntiVirus.

I tried to find this issue on MSDN without success. Does anyone have any
insight into this issue?
