everytime I open up my IE, the cursor turns into an hourglass every 2seconds and the IE itsel appears o be blinking. I am running Win2k Pro. with SP2. I cannot type in anything URL address or even search the net bec. of this problem. Have run spybot and ad-aware to no avail. Please help.
 
Have you checked if there are any unfamilar processes running in your task manager? Do you have a firewall installed to see if there is traffic running in and out while this is happening?

I find no other task running on my machine. We have a firewall here but I have no access to it so I won't be able to tell if there is traffic going on every time the cursor changes. I'm not sure if if RapidBlaster has anything to do with it bec. everytime I run Ad-Aware, it finds RapidBlaster. I was also able to remove it but it keeps on going back.
