Internet explorer freezes

[Guest]

Hi
When I attempt to access the internet, internet explorer loads, then as soon as I click on any link, the program freezes. I definitely cannot change web pages. I recently installed AdAware and McAfee virus scanner and ran both and removed all of the bad files. I was affected by the "about:blank" problem, but I think that that is resolved. I tried re-install IE 6.0, but it didn't help. If anyone has had this problem or knows how to fix it, I would really appreciate it. thanks

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.

In you case get the CWS tool at the end of this message. About:blank is a
variant of this parasite.


Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
