    Internet Explorer freezing

    I have had this problem for a few weeks now, when you start up Internet Explorer it freezes for 5 minutes or so then works fine, then at times it does it again randomly.

    Have tried using programs such as Adaware, Spybot and AVG but still the problem persists.

    Here is my HijackThis file if somebody would care to help me out with any problems. Thanks in advance.

    Save 20% on AVG Internet Security 2012 Suite!
    Go to Start > Run and type: CLEANMGR.EXE and hit enter.
    When prompted select the C: drive and click ok.
    Check the boxes for:
    • Temporary Internet Files
    • Downloaded Program Files
    • Recycle Bin
    • Temporary Files
    Click OK or Enter



    Also run the following more complete cleanup process, if possible:
    To clean your temp folder, recycle bin, etc..please download this free tool:

    CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadbuilds.asp

    Install Options:
    • [Don't install any Toolbars, or other programs, should it ask you!
    • Just uncheck the option of installing the Yahoo toolbar.

    It will put a shortcut on your Desktop.

    Select the ‘Cleaner’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), if not already selected. Use the ’Windows’ TAB up front by default.
    • Uncheck ‘Cookies’ option (advisable)
    • Optionally, Uncheck ‘Recently Typed URLs’ option (potentially still useful)
    • Click the ‘Analyse’ button.
    • Thereafter, click ‘Run Cleaner’ after you have reviewed what it proposes to clean.




    REBOOT and now proceed as follows:
    • You could try to 'Add/Remove Programs' for 'Internet Explorer' (in the Control Panel) - and select the 'Repair Internet Explorer' option and see if that solves your issues.

    • Try running IEFix - General purpose fix for Internet Explorer:
