IE 6 freezes under XP SP2

[Guest]

Every times I start IE, it freezes when I click on a link, up to 8 minutes.
When it happens, I can start & execute other programmes such as Exel, Word,
.... but the system clock is also frozen. The Task Manager shows no CPU &
Network activity.
I have the latest Window XP updates, I have the XP firewall on, AVG
antivirus, Webroot Spy Sweeper, Ad-Aware. I am using Verizon DSL on the
Ethernet port of my Dell Dimension 8300.

Any idea?
