Link Failure

Recently, clicking on any links in Reviewer freeze and the links have to be cancelled. This now happens on other pages/sites as well.
I'm running a small 2 m/c lAN on XP Pro with the newest version 6 of IE Explorer, up to date Norton A/Virus and Firewall 2003 and both adaware 6 and spybot. ISP is telewest broadband
Everything reports clean and an installation of Opera 7 works with no problems,. I can't find anything about this on Microsoft's site .
Any suggestions would be most welcome ( as a last resort I'll reinstall XP as you can't delete IE Explorer from within)

First thing to try is get rid of anything to do with Norton.

Popup stopper is disabled on Norton, I've used surf pal for the last year to control popups with no problems and this version of Norton has been running without problems for the last 3/4 months.
I tried a system restore to several diffferent check points and it refused so I reckon XP has a problem somewhere rather than IE Explorer.
Oh well looks like a reinstall, thanks for all suggestions P.
