I lately was having the Same Problem that Many of Your were saying about the Internet Explorer "Freezing Up". I began Using the Task Manager & Shutting down the Internet Explorer & then Bringing it back up again. Then I got tired of doing that because it was not Correcting the Problem at hand. So I did a Search & tried a Few things & I found a Fix that Fixed My Internet Explorer.
I have a Desktop 64 Bit Computer with Windows 8.1.
The Problem seems to be Java. I did the "64 Bit Version Update: & It worked. You People who are having this Problem needs to try it.
Let Me know if it works else I may be able to help You Further.
Like I said, It Worked for Me.
