I have been using IE 7 for some time now and all of a sudden yesterday when I searched something on Google using the google toolbar. As soon as the results were displayed, IE froze ( all tabs), and i had to restart it because it said Not responding. I searched many different items from both the toolbar and the site itself, but it wouldn't work. I even re-installed IE 7, all to no avail. Can this be fixed beacuse I'm a serious google user, or will I have to switch browsers. Thanx
Did you scan for viruses, or malware? If so, what programs were used? What brand and model computer, how much Ram is installed, windows XP SP2, type of Internet conection, ISP, is your OS fully updated, What anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall programs are installed, how long since you ran a registry cleaner, cleaned out temp files, ran disc defragmenter. Download HijackThis version 2.0.2 here. Open HJK. Click, Do a system scan and save a log file. Copy and paste the log here for review. Quikdraw
