My Internet Explorer freezes up on me occasionally. Any help?

Question

Sometimes the page I'm at will just stop responding, but when I open Windows Task Manager, it will say Explorer is still running. I either have to end it through Manager, or wait maybe 3-4 minutes for the page to unfreeze by itself.
Anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it?

Answer 1

Run a spyware program (like Spybot, it's free) and get an antivirus program to check out your system.

Also, if you have too much on your HDD, you will have issues.

Finally, run the Windows defragmentation program.

Finally, I assume you have the latest Internet Explorer. If not, upgrade.

Answer 2

Try Firefox!

Firefox is More Safer and Faster than IE, Anti Pop-ups, Anti-spyware and tabbed Browsing.

Here you can download Firefox1.5 with Google Toolbar for Free:

Hope this Helps. Good Luck to You.
