Up to this date I have been using IE6. However, lately I have started
experiencing situations where it would stop in loading a web page.
When it hit control,alt,delete, it states that the page that is
loading is (not responding). I did a search and there is a Microsoft
page that says that there is a "hot fix" for this problem. Before I
install it, I first wanted to ask if it would be better to just go to
IE7 or an even later version. Any help will be appreciated.

(1) Post the URL that does that, so I can try it.
(2) Identify the hot fix, so I can check whether I took it.

You already know you can't install IE7.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

Yes, I have not installed ie7. I still have 8. I am using AVAST as
my internet security. I have the free version. Before that I had AVG
but they stopped supporting 98 and I uninstalle it. Before that I had
Norton and I don't remember but probably it came installed on the
computer. Thanks for your help.

When (approx. date) was the Norton application uninstalled?
