Two iexplore.exe processes hang and have to be manually killed

When I exit internet explorer, everything runs fine except my desktop is locked up. Both iexplore.exe's are hung. I kill them and everything is fine. If I disable the Symantec Intrusion Prevention this does not happen. I have run live update and loaded all Micorsoft patches and the problem still persist.
