Same problem here as well. Vista is completely unusable to me with this
issue. I can browse the same sites without issue on a neighboring XP and 2003
Server machine. It seems like I narrowed it down to links that
forward/redirect. Search engines do not work at all except MSN...imagine
that.

I've tried disabling UAC, adding the specific site to my list of Trusted
Sites, completely neutered IE7 turning off all security features (pop-up
blocker, phishing check, protected mode), disabled Windows Defender, disabled
the firewall. No matter what I try I just can't browse 90% of the websites
out there.
