Every few minutes my Internet Explorer freezes and then continues as if it never happened! It occurs again & again, and has become very frustrating! I have been through the required steps but to no avail. I have copied a hijackthis log below, so if anyone could look through it and offer any solutions it would be greatly appreciated.
