Can anyone tell me what I can do to stop this error message when I close my
browser? It says: The instruction at 0x7c911e58 referenced memory at
"0xffffffff". The memory could not be "read".

Hi,
It's likely that another program is causing this- possibly legitimate-
possibly malware. A BHO, add-on or third-party program is not playing nicely
with Internet Explorer.

[XP SP2] From IE> Tools> Manage add-ons. Disable all non-microsoft add-ons.
Re-enable them one at a time until the problem returns and you've found the
incompatible add-on.
[IE6 Non SP2] Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third-party
browser
extensions." If either of these helps, you still need to find the
troublesome program. BHO or add-on.
ToolbarCop from http://windowsxp.mvps.org/toolbarcop.htm will help identify
and remove add-ons.

Disable (for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers,
security, toolbars and other add-ons for IE, anti-virus, etc. Take a look at
any program that might be interfering with IE. You may have to reconfigure,
reinstall, or not reinstall, a program. Turn on the Windows Firewall (from
Control Panel or Security Center) before disabling a third-party firewall.

If not caused by a legitimate program, see these sites for help with malware
(adware, spyware, hijackers, etc.)

This worked. It turns out that my StopZilla was causing it. Thanks!
