I ran adaware6, which did not help. Interestingly, other users on this
computer have no problem with their IE browser. It also seems that my biggest
problem is with Hotmail (that's when it freezes the most). I am using Firefox
until this gets fixed. It works well, somewhat more slowly. Even with
Firefox, the browser froze when I tried to send an email through a "contact
us" hotmail window.
