Internet Explorer freezes up. Help!
Hello all, looking for some help from you cluey folk please...
Lately, IE9 has been opening normally but freezing up (refusing to respond to scroll or click commands) within a second or so. It will usually close normally (although sometimes a CTL ALT DEL is needed) but the problem recurs next time it's opened.
It doesn't happen on all sites right away, but PPrune, for example is affected every time.
I have Trend Micro Titanium, CCleaner and Malwarebytes and have run them all several times. Malwarebytes found 5 files, which it categorised as 2x Rootkit, 2xTrojan and 1 Spyware, and appeared to have dealt with them. However, the IE problem is still there.
We are fairly careful with what links we click on and so on, but the kids had some friends over the other day who showed them how to download 'skins' for Minecraft, and I suspect this may be what's kicked off the problem.
It's a Windows 7 PC, and the IE9 version is 9.0.8112.16421, if that's of any relevance.
Thanks in advance for any clues,
Cheers
Tim
