IE freezing up my computer!!!

[Guest]

Occasionaly while using IE my computer will freeze up, and I have to do
hard reset. I have cleaned the system with ADAWARE, checked for virus's a
Trend Micro, reinstalled, had the computer sent back to the retailer
repaired and still this problem is encountered

Any Ideas what may be causing this freezing to happen

Please not the Computer does not freeze while running any othe
applications, only now & then when IE is running

Any assistance/ideas are appreciated

Rule out parasites. Get AdAware's latest definition table.
If all fails get HijackThis and seek help from the forum.


IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
