IE 6.0 Problems!

I use Internet Explorer 6.0 w/service pack 2 on my PC. Just over the last week or so when I browse the web and I have a web page up with links on the web page, if that link on that web page directs you to a site away from the original web address, the page opens in a new window and freezes. I have to click on the stop button and click refresh and the page shows up. That happens in all cases like that. If the link on that page directs you to a page within that web address, it is ok.

In other words for example: I can navigate with the site just fine, but if I go to and click on another site, a new window opens and wont display the page until I click on stop and refresh it, then it will appear?????

Any ideas would help.

I have run scan disk, defrag and checked all the options in the tools of IE 6.0 and all seems to be ok!

The only program I installed over the last week was ccleaner from wwwccleaner.com and ran the default settings. I have since uninstalled it.

Any ideas??
