The 2nd link I posted is for Norton Anti-Virus, so try that.

IE5 - are you sure? That's quite old. Check in Help - About. Also go to https://www.windowsupdate.com and get your machine updated with any high priority updates.

they are not using Nortons are they, the old "secure pages" problem ??

I sometimes get the browser freezing on links to secure pages; the advice box about secure pages appears then leaves a blank area, and it can only be closed with the Task Manager; is that what you mean?

IE6, ZoneAlarm, Antivir - and it doesn't occur with Firefox or Opera, but I hope that doesn't mean people will suggest I switch

Are they on your "Restricted sites" list?

In IE, Tools, Internet Options, Security tab. Select the Restricted logo and clear any that you want to get to.
