Hello,
My IE6.0 is hanging/freezing for 1 minute every time
another page loads. The page looks normal but I cannot
scroll or do anything with it for 1 minute. I uninstalled
then reinstalled IE6.0 but stil no good. I am running
Win98se. All my other programs work fine. PLEASE HELP.
 
Hey Bud ...

Here's the fix that worked for me and apparently it's spyware ( netpal )
that clicks the option.

"Here's the fix that worked for me
Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced then UNCHECK "Enable
third-party browser extensions"
then reboot.
Worked for me hope it helps someone else.

I am having the same exact probs. Seems to have just
started yesterday. I've also run spybot, wincleaner,
performed an most recent Windows XP SP1 update....still
having the same strange probs. Any help to correct this
problem sure would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
 
Hi All...

Thanks to Lucky Dog , I hope it works for you also as i spent some time
trying to figure it out.
Also visit Symantec to clean further ( it's the NETPAL spyware )

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
