The best thing to do would be to uninstall all internet explorer's you have on your computer thenn reinstall it though your system disk or windows updates. You need to uninstall ALL explorers. You also might have some hardware or software confilcts. Have you installed anything recently, or deleted anything? What kind of firewall do you have? Was it recently installed? there are a multiple amount of things that could be wrong. If you cannot find any conflicts with software or hardware, or you have a lot of downloaded programs, or junk on your system, a clean install of the operating system might be the best thing in the long run. You can find out how to do that on a Microsoft, or your system manufacturer's knowledge base. Be sure o back up all your files because it will delete everything on your hard drive. I would love to countinue to help you. Email me if you have any other questions.

I had similar problem (Kerio Firewall) - it was to do with advertising. Blocked and no problems. You can always unblock in the unlikely event that you find it is necessary for something or other.
