Does Yahoo Messenger cause a problem with IE on Windows XP?

I just installed Yahoo messenger and now my IE is freezing up. I didn't open messenger today and I'm not having that problem. Is there some sort of fix for this problem?

Sometimes your pop up blocker on yahoo tool bar can cause a problem. Try turning it off when you have the problem again.
