Hi,
Recently I've had the problem that after I do a search with google the results come up but the explorer windows goes "not responding" for about a minute. The page shows up with the links, but i can't click on them because the computer is still thinking according to the mouse cursor. It usually takes 30-200 seconds before I can click the links. I have run spybot updated so i don't think it is spyware. Is there a fix for this?
just internet explorer 6, and no i can't click anything in the window (it's like it's unresponding for a minute)
