I wish I could blame the site, but I have 3 computers in the house on one network and the desktop is the only one having this issue. Also, the problem occurs at other sites I just haven't been able to test a lot of them because everytime I get hung up it takes a long time to get IE shut down. So far I am havig the problem at msn.com(hangs on a.rad.msn.com/ADSAdClient31), espn.com(hangs at espn.go.com) nbc.com(hangs at view.atdmt.com/MRT/iview...click=ad.dou...) and amazon.com(hangs at ad.doubleclick.net...) I am not having the problem at google.com(including the search result page), facebook.com, and Here(computerhope.com). Is there anything that you can see that each of these hanging points have in common? Are they a specific kind of code? I'll keep researching and get a longer list.
