Windows IE Help - Freezes whenever entering username+password

[Jgresch]

Currently using IE on home desktop, I've searched around with no similar results to my problem on google.

Basically what happens is whenever I open a page that prompts for a username/password, when I click the username field to enter, that browser window freezes. Some examples are Hotmail, youtube and twitter. But some sites like facebook and my school e-mail account are exceptions.

Anybody have any similar problems?

Alternatively, if you MUST keep on using IE, run Malware Bytes, AdAware, and SpyBot.

The problem, honestly, is too vague to give you a solid answer as to why it's doing it.

I honestly think this computer will explode if I download anything else onto it. I just need it to last like another week lol. I'll download FF though and give it a try thx.
