Internet Explorer Freezes On Startup

Had a client that had IE7 froze on startup. I started to see if it was an add-in that cause the problem. Under Accessories-System Tools is an Internet Explorer (No add-ons). It basically does what it says. IE7 opened fine after I did this so I figured it was a corrupted add-on. To see what add-ons and disable the problem add-on you go to Tools-Internet Options, Programs tab. At the bottom is Manage Add-ons. As I looked through the add-ons I notest Yahoo Companion. I remembered a few years ago I had a major problem with Yahoo Toolbar causing similar issue. I went into add-remove programs and removed anything labeled Yahoo and then IE worked fine. The Yahoo toolbar/companion has to be the buggiest thing to install.
