Good Morning. My friend has an HP laptop (6 mos old), Win XP Home SP2, IE 6,
with Cable broadband (Road Runner). Lately when he launches IE, it freezes
for about 5 minutes, runs normal, then freezes again until he has to end
program. I did the following, and it still freezes - uninstalled and
reinstalled IE from the Windows cd, ran 3 different anti-spyware programs
(adawareSE, spybot S&D, Microsoft Beta), ran JV16 powertools and deleted
suspicious entries, deleted adware found by Norton antivirus, booted in
safemode and diabled suspicious add-ons in IE, disabled some startup apps in
msconfig. The only thing I didn't do was install a firewall (it was getting
late!). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
