I am using a custom PC (from a local store in a very rural area) with an Asus motherboard.
US Robotics 56K Modem
SBC-Yahoo DSL

In my Email, when I click a link, the system sometimes stops. The Browser goes into "not resonding" mode
I recently cleaned out a virus using advise from this site. I'm not sure SmitRem is entirely removed.
I have checked for spyware and viruses using the Yahoo anti-Spy and Mcafee.

Contact at Yahoo help suggested optimizing IE (the Yahoo Browser is a 'skin' over IE).
When using IE directly I get no connections by links, just a "dink" noise.
Using Yahoo Browser I can connect to some links some of the time.
I suspect IE is damaged?
