Does anyone else experience freeze-up of Internet Explorer when you try to navigate to Google?

Internet Explorer locks up, has to be re-started. Doesn't require re-start of computer. No virus alerts appear.

i’ve learned to use ie when sending hotmail messages; other browsers mess up the format.
also, google and adobe reader don’t work well with firefox.
ms interferes with firefox.

Prepare to be ridiculed for using IE. Try Firefox or Chrome.

It’s not likely google. Try cleaning up your system, temp files internet cache ect. run a chkdsk and defrag. which ie are you using? worst case try compatibility mode.

Get FOXIT READER instead of adobe better and faster.

Google has undergone 2 major updates since June 1 (one in early June, one in late July).
Although the code from the Google site is valid, there are some bugs in some versions of Internet Explorer which the Google code seems to trip on.
So some things on Google don't work well with IE. The actual bugs are in IE, but Google isn't going out of their way to avoid those bugs any more.

I’ve had no problems w/ Adobe Reader unless I’m using Tor. Then Save As is a good work-around.

If you have your icons set to greater than 125% in the personalization screen Adobe acts up. If you have it lower than that it's fine.
