How do I cure the problem of error message "This program is not responding"
whenever I try to open anything up using I.E. 6.......this issue just started
since I installed SP2. Carol
 
1. Uninstall SP2 via Add/Remove Programs and reboot.

2. Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your HijackThis
log to an appropriate forum.

Check for Hijackware

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

**Post your HijackThis log to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30 or
other appropriate forum for expert analysis, not here.**

3. Do not install SP2 until an expert gives your HijackThis log a clean bill
of health.

PA Bear,
My IE6 has also been hanging up every time I open it. It opens one page and
then freezes as soon as I click anything, so I have to use Mozilla to access
the web. Please help!
I ran a Hijack This check and got the following resuts:
