Every time I press enter after typing in an address with
IE, it completely freezes my computer and I have to
ctrl+alt+del to close it to make anything work again. It
only started the last week or so. I tried uninstalling it
and re-doing it, but it didn't help. I also tried to patch
it, but that didn't fix the problem either. I run Ad-Aware
all the time so I'm pretty sure it isn't a virus, but does
anyone know what could be causing it? Thank you in advance
for any help.

ad-aware is *not* an antivirus program and certainly not even a close
second. If you do not have an AV program with the latest updates installed
and running, then it is not possible to answer your question. At the very
least, go to the Symantec site and do an online scan of your system.
It may not be a virus or qhosts, etc., so don't be overly concerned. Just
that you first have to be sure your box is completely clean. Only then can
any other problems be properly diagnosed because of the complexity of the
OS.
