Unhappy XP freezes when accessing some favorites on Internet.

When I attempt to access some favorites Via IE Explorer or MSN
the machine sort of freezes. It does not load the screens for the
favorites and I am unable to cancel the proccess, even from the
Task Manager if it up and running. If it's not up I can't get it to start. My only recourse is to use the Power Button to turn the machine off.

The favorites that fail almost all the time are related to E-Bay.
Occassionally I can't get to Weather.Com, but that works after
one or to reboots.

I use Zone Alarm and when I turn it off during this problem
(It does allow me to stop proccesses shown on the Task Bar) It says "Zone Alarm is waiting for True Vector Internet Monitor to shut down" I think this is the correct quote.

Anyone else have this problem?

True Vector is major spyware and the True Vector Internet Monitor is the part of Zone Alarm that looks for it.

It seems that your Zone Alarm is possibly corrupted or you already have True Vector on your machine.

Download the lates version of Zone Alarm and install.

Also check your system with at least 2 of the many free Spy and Adware apps.
