OK, I've had this problem since last one month.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and I have a lot of browsers installed on my system (Opera, Firefox, IE8, Safari, Chrome).

But whenever I start any of these browsers (except Firefox), my taskbar freezes completely. I cannot access anything on the taskbar including the start button. After pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, I select 'Start Task Manager', but that also freezes. The system only comes back to normal when I close the browser window.

Suprisingly, Firefox is the only browser which works perfectly without freezing the taskbar. I've Firefox 3.6.8 as well as Firefox 4.0b5 installed and both work without a problem. Any ideas?

Close IE.
Go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools, and click on Internet Explorer (no add-ons). Same thing?

OK, today it seems IE (with and without addons), Safari and Firefox all seem to be running fine all of a sudden And I didn't even do anything to make that happen

But Opera and Chrome are still giving me the same problem

Hey, sorry for the late reply. It looks like it wasn't malware. I uninstalled Internet Download Manager and all the browsers have started working properly. Thnx for d help anyways
