First, totally clear out your History and TIF folders: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
If no joy...
This may be caused by spyware/malware that's gotten installed on
your system. Use Ad-Aware, MSAS and/or Spybot Search & Destroy to remove it.
Microsoft Anti-Spyware (beta) http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
Good sites on how to install and use Spybot -

http://tomcoyote.com/SPYBOT/index1.php
Also download a winsock repair tool, to have just in case cleaning up anything found breaks it -
Winsock repair tools:
LSPFix- all versions of Windows http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.zip
Winsock2 Fix- Win98, ME http://www.bu.edu/pcsc/internetaccess/winsock2fix.html
LavaSoft- all versions of Windows- http://digital-solutions.co.uk/lavasoft/whndnfix.zip
More information here: http://www.spywareinfo.com/ http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/Darnit.html http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/ - runs a little script when loading page to check for common parasites
If no joy, in IE go to Tools...Internet Options...Advanced tab, Browsing section, uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions", click Apply, click Okay, reboot. If that solves your problem, then more troubleshooting is needed to find out exactly which program, or Browser Helper Object (BHO) is causing this problem. You don't want to leave it at that, as some BHOs are useful or necessary - like Adobe Acrobat for reading .pdf files or an essential component of Norton AV. Get BHODemon - http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm - read all about BHOs. Disable all items, and then gradually replace one or two at a time to narrow down the culprit.
Or if you have IE 6 SP-2 you can do this within the browser: How to manage Internet Explorer add-ons in Windows XP Service Pack 2 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;883256
If all the above fails, then the problem could be something new that the spyware cleaners above don't have in their databases yet. In that case.... HijackThis direct download: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip Tutorial on how to use HijackThis: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/htlogtutorial.html Then post it's output log to the forum here for analysis and feedback by the parasite experts: http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/ Or the other HijackThis Logs forums listed here: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/forums.html
Or try this program to get some of the most nasty malware: CWShredder direct download: http://aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip

I am running IE6 on Windows 2000 SP2 laptop.
Problem: IE works fine for the first few minutes after I turn on my laptop.
Then it seems to be unable to access any websites. If I reboot the computer
(which I have now done several times today), the same things happens....IE is
ok with accessing web for first few minutes, and then it seems to be unable
to access anything.
When problem appeared: The problem started to appear only today after I
upgraded from an older version of ZoneAlarm to the latest Zone Alarm Pro
(free trial version). And now the problem persists, regardless of whether I
have the firewall turned on or off. But, Outlook, and Messenger don't seem
to be having any problems a
Anyone know how to fix the problem?
Many thanks for your help.
