Explorer window freezes

[Guest]

Hi there, when I'm online my windows often "freeze" and I cannot do anything.
I have to use task manager to shut them down and then open new ie windows
again. this happens every few hours or so. Please help. Thanks

Hi,
First, clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content.) It's often recommended that the TIF
folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)

Next, check for malware. Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware,
Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.
