Hi :-)
If all the sites are legitimate sites, try holding down the Ctrl key when you click on a link. This should allow the popup and see if it will load the page.
also see the following:

or...Courtesy of PA Bear:
You click on a link and an IE window doesn't even open: http://www.oehelp.com/ielnk.aspx.
2. You click on a link and an IE window opens but it doesn't load:

3. Installing the latest Cumulative Patch for IE may solve the problem as a side-effect. Check in at Windows Update.
4. Run a thorough check for hijackware.

Hope this helps.

This problem also happens with some other sites: I click on the link in IE, it starts to download, but stops and never complete, always leaving a blank page. Then I go to Firefox, go to the same link, click it, and it opens up normally. Maybe an hour later, if the link is still there, it might work on IE.
I think the problem might by IE's pop-up blocker. Carefully watching the bar at the bottom, it seems to try to load an ad, and then it just stops. All the sites are legit, and I do open them later with Firefox without any problem.
I've seen a list of restricted sites or ads in the configuration of IE pop-up blocker. Should I try to erase the list of blocked sites? Is this a bad idea?
