IE6 trouble with online sites

I am having trouble getting into some web sites e.g.

http://www.asda.co.uk

http://www.toolbankexpress.com/shop/romfordtools/

All I get is a blank screen and it says "done" in the
bottom left hand corner of the browser. All the latest
Microsoft ME patches are up to date and I am up to date
with my virus guard. I am running IE 6.0.2800.1106IS with
update versions SP1; Q828750; Q824145; Q832849; Q831167.

This only seems to be happening on sites that have an
online shop.

Can you please help me.

Telnet shows that this site is redirecting in a not very robust way.

<captured example>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
var tag = escape(window.document.referrer)
document.write('<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=/
asda_corp/scripts/Init.jsp?referer=' + tag + '">' );
</SCRIPT>

Check your Security options. This won't work if you have
scripting disabled or if you have META Refresh disabled.
Either one would give you your symptom of a blank page.

Same sort of thing but in this case just the META Refresh
would be the factor. Also you should at least be seeing
"One moment please..."

<head>
<title>Welcome to Toolbank Express</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://tbx.toolbankexpress.com/default.cfm?rid=77&mid=0">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">One moment please...
</font>
</body>
</html>
