IE 6 Freezing when opened

A few days ago IE 6 started freezing up on me. It will open and go to my
homepage (yahoo.com) but as soon as I click on anything else or type in
another url, IE freezes. I can close by right-clicking on the tab at the
bottom of the screen and choosing close, but it takes a few seconds and
brings up the "not responding" msg.

I've run several anti-virus programs and can't seem to find anything wrong.
I've since downloaded another browser using a program with a built in browser
but my wife prefers IE and I'd like to get it working. Any help?

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
