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.

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

Yes...I've noticed this in the last couple of days. Solution is to use Chrome.

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.

Don’t use Google or IE, but that’s just me.

My advice, change the name of Internet Explorer to This browser sux, download Firefox, and never use IE again. Internet Explorer is hands down the worst browser. If you want a second browser, try Opera. Don't let anyone talk you into using Chrome unless you enjoy being spied on by google. Bing works just fine, if you must use google go through Scroogle so they can't watch your every move. Always remember that using Google or Chrome is the same as letting the Obummers watch your every move. I installed Chrome on an old laptop I rarely used just to see what all it installed in my registry. Then I uninstalled it and put the registry cleaners to work. Pretty interesting. A few things you never want on your Microsoft computer, AOL software or tool bars, Chrome, Google or Yahoo tool bars, Real Player, anything that has the word Google or Yahoo in them. Just my opinion but you won't see me on here asking about computer problems.

I just quit using google, and changed home page to another search engine. I was tired of them tracking me anyway.

You’ve got bad memory DIMMs. I used to build computers and rand the modules through a tester. About 23% were defective and couldn’t handle the load. I no longer have access to a memory tester and have found many modules defective. Even when not bought in bulk.

I don’t GOOGLE. Google is a major donor to progressive causes.
