It's extremely annoying, and I like IE. I have the most updated version and I have the most recent Panda software for viruses and spy ware. I've done many scans of my computer and there are no viruses, spy ware, or anything. What's wrong with IE? When I use Firefox it works fine. This laptop that I'm on is fairly new. When I first got it, I visited few sites without a spy ware or virus protector. I got a minor virus on the older version of internet explorer that made pop ups appear. I got rid of it with Panda when I got it, and then upgraded to the newest version of IE. Now the links freeze. -points title- Does this have to do with viruses, spy ware, the new version of IE, or is IE just plain old horrible and I should keep using Firefox? Do you know how to fix it? Please tell.

I can't operate on IE if I can't click on links. Every page involves links and I don't know when I'm going to run into one that'll freeze me. So you smart mouthes that are telling me to stop clicking it, that won't work. I NEED it.

Also, I already have Firefox as stated above, and I love it. It's just that I want my IE to be fixed.

Try right clicking as a habit instead. You will see two options - open and open in new window. you may find that one of these will always work. This, I admit, is a complete guess.
Depending on which IE you have, look at the top in the ribbon area for a message indicating, for example, popups are blocked. Right click on this ribbon, and chose 'allow popups for this site'.
Bottom line, right clicking on this ribbon will give you options to solve the problem.
There are several dozen parameters that you can change that will cause or solve this under Internet Options under Tools. For example, you may have ActiveX turned off, but you need it.

If you've recently installed a new program, it may have installed some spyware.
Some types of spyware monitor your internet activity then send the compiled information back to remote servers while you're surfing.
The problem becomes evident when the spyware can't get through your firewall, causing symptoms such as you're currently experiencing.
Run a virus scan and run an adware/spyware removal tool.
You can download them for free.

DO ME A FAVOR, IE 6 AND 7 ARENT THE SAFEST TO USE. CLICK OFF IT OR OPEN TO DOWNLOAD MOZILLA FIREFOX. A COOL BROWSER THAT HAS EMBEDDED SECURITY FEATURES THAT IS SAFER, USE ALL YOUR SECURITY BUT FIREFOX HAD SO MANY LESS PROBLEMS. YOU'LL LOVE IT AND NEVER GO BACK TO I.E AGAIN. KEEP LOGGING ON TILL YOU GET THROUGH TO MOZILLA. TRY CLEANING OUT YOUR CACHE, COOKIES, REGISTRY FILES WITH CCLEANER. FREE. DOWNLOADS.COM BUT STILL USE THE MOZILLA.

I recommended to take it to a place were they can tell you what is wrong because is not normal...Sometimes the link that you are trying to log in maybe have virus so it will freeze up you laptop that is my best guess...
