That should indicate whether it is core IE or something else.
If you have Google toolbar installed I'd put my money on that
And don't listen to James, Firefox over Chrome
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

SWMBO had issues with Acrobat as well, so I put Foxit reader on and that seems to work better now as well.
EDIT: Jim has his quick fingers on today

Chrome is much faster and had the added bonus of being able to drag a webpage to the desktop and its treated like an app (use gmail? its much better for that). Add on the fact it is run in a sandbox with each tab given its own process, chrome was the only browser to not get cracked in the pwn2own contest recently. Plus chrome has that basic look. Mind you, I prefer IE8 on Win7 over all of them

I'm more into having a browser open up quickly, FF is just so slow these days. My only gripe with Chrome is, it doesn't work very well on x64, you have to turn off sandbox, but if I'm watching stuff with flash I'll use it, its also much better at Ajax than IE which sucks up CPU time and slows it down to a crawl. For Linux I prefer Opera over FF, same with OSX, but for Windows, IE8 rocks
