Internet Explorer - Window problems

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum...
I have been having troubles with internet explorer. Whenever I try to open something in a new window, IE freezes for about a minute, and when it unfreezes, there is no new window. It's also the same for links to a new window. Is this bug related or something else?
Please Help

 

To be sure lets rule out Malware.

Also, I see you previously had a problem with Trojan.Vundo in this thread a while back. Was you able to get rid of this nasty bug?

Virtumundo Removal

Download HijackThis 1.99.1

Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

Run HijackThis and save your log file.

Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post as it will be removed).

Thanks for the prompt reply...I did manage to get rid of the last virus thing.
I've attached the HJT log.
Thanks
