in internet explorer go to TOOLS -> Internet Options then hit the delete cookies button (not this will remove the username and password details from sites so you'll have to re-login.

Also click the settings button next to "delete cookies" and change the update frequency to "every time you visit the page"

Just try disabling the firewall, anti virus and any pop up blocking software. If that still dont sort it, throw the pc out the window
