Web page freezes/doesn't respond - Internet Explorer Problem???

I have Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11. I have one web site (marketwatch.com/watchlist) that I use frequently but have not been able to access for about 2 weeks. The web page will partially open and then stops. When I try to scroll on the web page or open a new window, either nothing happens or I get a message that the web page is not responding. Strangely enough I can open the main marketwatch.com site and read articles, etc with no problem. I contacted tech support at the web site and they can't find a problem with their web site and suggested I install Moxilla as my internet browser.

Here's what I've tried:
I tried listing the marketwatch.com/watchlist site in the compatibility mode but it didn't help.
I cleared the cookies off my computer but that didn't help.
I disabled my NIS firewall and tried to bring up the web page but that didn't work.

I'm still suspicious that there's a problem with that particular web page since I have no trouble opening other web pages.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
If you have a watch list that usually means you have to sign into the site ?
Using another browser might help to see if you've been banned from the site ;)

To properly clear the cache Use Alt+TD or Gear symbol Safety/ Delete browser history,
Uncheck the top box and Check all others/ Delete.
Close and re-open ie.

If still no joy run these free scanners,
Review Jacee’s instructions to run Adwcleaner here post #7,
Ignore the title of the thread,

You can use these free tools to see if they find anything,
Manually Update them before running full scans,
Try not to use your computer while the scans are running, (one at a time of course).
See this tutorial on how to download and run Malwarebytes,

Also use the Custom scan option not the Threat scan,

Please Do Not clean/ Delete or Remove Any detections before posting the scan results first before review especially Malwarebytes,

SAS is safe to remove anything it finds ;)
