I have IE6 on XPSP2, all updates installed. Malware scans find nothing. No
hijack symptoms.
My problem is that IE will frequently freeze up, usually but not always
after closing a window. The progression of symptoms is always identical.
First, the hourglass cursor appears, and the page becomes unresponsive. Then
if I move the cursor to the title bar, the Maximize box becomes disabled.
The Minimize and Close boxes do not change. After a few more seconds, "Not
responding" appears in the title bar.
If I have any other IE windows open at the time, they continue to operate
normally for ten or fifteen seconds, then they begin to exhibit the same
symptoms as the first window.
This happens several times per day, sometimes two or three times per hour. I
uninstalled Flash, thinking that might be causing the problem, but no help.
(I left it off because I enjoy not getting tons of that awful Flash
advertising!) I have no other BHO's installed that I'm aware of, unless you
count QuickTime and Acrobat Reader.
Anyone have ideas?
