I have "windows xp" and comcast broadband internet service. When I put a search word into a search engine like msn, yahoo, or google and then "click on" the search box it will freeze on me and takes forever to go to the list of sites? When it finally gets to the list of sites I then "click on" one of the sites and it will freeze on me again or take forever to go to it. What do you think is causing this problem?

the best thing to do would be to reinstall it then it should be back to normal

I am not sure but there are a few things you can try. there is a program called Windows Washer from web root you can try getting that software and run it. that software will remove all your cookies and history alone with other files that may slow up your PC. also you may want to download a spy ware/ ad ware software and scan your PC to see if that is the problem. comcast it pretty fast and the PC is not suppose to take more than 1 second to populate results. if you are using Internet Explorer you can try downloading Fire Fox and try that browser, that is a very good browser also and may work a little faster than IE.
you can download it from http://www.mozilla.com
if you need any more help feel free to email me
PS. fire fox is free.
