| Hi, When I log into bt yahoo, I can get to the url o.k. but if I try to open a page in the url my computer freezes, this includes microsoft office and other programmes, however, if I open up with Mozilla Firefox the freezing doesn't occur. Anyone any suggestions why this happens, and how to cure the freezing problem. Pretty sure its not a spyware, malware problem. Thanks in advance |

| Go into add/remove programs and see if anything you know shouldn't be there has been installed that you can un-install. Like Toolbars. Then run CCleaner. Use the default options. If you do not have CCleaner please install it. Here Once CCleaner is open use the default options and click Analyze and it will show a log of what will be removed. Next click Run Cleaner to remove everything. Next on the upper left of CCleaner select the Issues tab. Next click Scan For Issues. Next click Fix selected issues. It will prompt you to make a backup. For the first run I would suggest doing so. |
