hey yall im having a problem, and i cant figure it out. On my Internet explorer when im at a site, and i click on a link and a new window opens. The page wont load? I haft to click stop then refresh to load? I notice to when i do windows updates the download box stays on preparing to download and that it. I ran spybot, defrag harddrive. and alote of other stuff. Im using Mozilla firefox , and the pages load slow? can anyone help

download firefox.. hit microsoft update and get the security patch for IE6... you might also have been hijacked... check out this program.. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4086.html

Ya...  that is a good site. I got my cwshredder there.With IE6 it is a must to upde the patch. I swear by SpyBot! The "Tea Time" option lets know when a hijack is taking place. Is especially helpful if ya have to go to a "sleazy" site for one reason or another. I found out the hard way that al lot of those cool  "free" animated graphis as in Hotbar are feeding grounds for pop-ups. There iare some good util'st http://analogx.com/ has a good port-mapper&blocker and lots of other goodies. They are all very simple to run and the doc's are shorter than this post I am running 3 audio streams and http server on this old P3 and it's still kicking..
