When I had this, I ran Task Manager and IE was occupying 98% of my CPU, even with only AB open. The only way I could get rid was to end the process from within TM. I tried my laptop - same thing. Something massive was going on within AB that caused both my machines to freeze. That was Friday to Sunday. It's not happening today, has anything changed? Advert removed? Picture of the Queen changed to that of a footballer top left? Just suggestions.
