I keep getting locked up (frozen), & I have to do ctl alt delete & end task.
Also, I'll be in the middle of something & IE closes & goes back to my desk
top. Plus, I keep getting a pop-up that states will I accept about blank as
my home page. I have History Kill & even to go to this page I've had to
disable it (I blocked the about blank home page, but can't stop the pop-up
from coming up & asking me numerous times about changing my home page), & I
no longer have the MSN search engine I use to get - it's totally different &
doesn't get much of what I want.

I have defrag'd, I have plenty of disk space, run my anti-virus.

Where do I need to start to get these stopped - most important is getting
locked up, then at other times knocked off IE & going back to my desk top.

I've had History Kill for over a year & have not had any of these problems
before, so I tend to feel History Kill is not my problem...but I could be
wrong?????????
