Hello. I have been having a problem with all versions of
internet explorer and cannot figure out what the problem
is or how to fix it. What happens is that I type in an
address (or anything) into the address bar, press enter,
and the entire screen freezes until I ctrl+atl+del out of
the IE window. I have tried uninstalling, re-installing,
restarting, different versions, virus scans...everything I
can think of. This causes many problems for me, as I can't
access the internet. If anyone can help I would appreciate
it very much. (Please e-mail me {[email protected]}
if at all possible; it is hard to track messages on
newsgroups). I would really appreciate any help as this is
a very vexing problem.

Check your system for "hijackware".

I highly recommend using HijackThis
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip) to identify and
assist in the removal of these bad guys. **Post your files to

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
