Computer Help! Internet Explorer: "Not Responding" "End Now"?

Hey,

Recently my other computer has started playing up. When I open Internet Explorer it shows my homepage after a longer that normal loading period. From here when I try to do some things like clicking on a link or entering an URL into the address bar, the window freezes and dosn't load, when I press Alt + Ctrl + Delete and get into task manager It says "Not Responding" next to the window of IE I have opened. Then from here I press end task now and a window comes up saying "End Now" so I click it and it closes the window of IE I had open and another window pops up saying "Send error report" and "Dont send error report" I always click the latter. I have read some forums about this problem and alot of people reply by saying "Download this" but I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING as when I click on a link or enter an URL it crashes again. Please can someone help me.! I shall be very thankful!

Thanks

Jakey

You should check what softwares are running by ctrl+alt+del and End Task to programs you know you don't need to be running. (The point here is to only have the programs needed to run your computer) You may have hidden programs running in the background that may be causing the problems.

You may be having firewall malfunction problems. It may be blocking the usage of files needed to run iexplorer.

Try turning automatic updates to off. You can do this through control panel. You can also End Task to the svchost.exe running at high cpu usage when booting up.

You may also want to do a full virus check, spyware check, adware check. These programs can be found through the link from above (if you can get to it).

I wouldn't suggest to start in safe mode, only because many softwares nowadays will not run in safe mode but some well. But try the above first, and think about safe mode as a last choice. Even getting the program HijackThis, you may end up spending weeks figuring it all out.
Try go to Microsoft update website and update ur IE, if that still can't fix the problem, try to disable some "addon" which can be found if you click on tools then manage addon then disable the thing you don't need. It might be caused by some spyware, malware or virus, try to scan your computer. If that still doesn't work, reinstall IE. AND IF THAT STILL DOESN"T WORK, get Firefox
F I R E F O X please pass on
