IE 7 hangs up/freezes
My laptop is about 3 months old and have had no issues until a couple of days ago when IE7 began freezing up on me. I have XP Professional and have not yet installed SP3 but I see nothing in the description of SP3 that would lead me to think the install would correct my problem.

I have used crtl/alt delete to end "search glow" and when the pop of 'do you want to report this probem to MS' shows, I say yes and report the problem. Their resolution is that I need to check for virus/spyware or make sure my updates are current. I have Windows Live OneCare and it tells me that I have nothibg harmful on my computer.

I have loaded no new programs within the the last couple of days other than an Active X control from Adobe.

Do you have any suggestions as to why this has occurred and what I can do to correct it? Thanks.

Search Glow is a virus, it cannot be removed manually, firstly unintall your Java Run time by using Add or Remove and then, intall the Jav Run time again and Scan your computer by any Anti virus programme, it will help you to delete the Search Glow.
