How do you fix the cause of the computer or Internet Explorer to freeze up when you click on a link in email?

Answer

Clicking on a link in an E-Mail is a dangerous thing to do unless you are absolutely sure it is safe. The fact that it froze should sound an alarm. If your computer exhibits no other strange behavior you are probably OK. If it does I suggest you do a virus and spy-ware scan with the programs you have. If you have no spyware scanner, I suggest a free program called AdAware.

Answer

many times a user must click a link in Email to verify themselves. I'm having this problem too and I'm having it with links that I know are trustworthy, they work on other peoples computers. "Don't click on links" is not the answer to this question... unfortunately I don't know what is.
