Error and auto close

[A J]

Recently, as I go to various websites, IE would get an
error message and then automatically close. This happens
when I search google for "Giga Pocket" and
FlashFlashRevolution.com. It is very random and I am not
sure what to do. This is only happening recently. The
error message is from the Microsoft Error Reporting. It
says:

Error Signature:
AppName: iexplorer.exe
AppVer:6.0.2800.1106
ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.1217
Offset: 000081bd

Check your system for "hijackware":

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. HijackThis (http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip; [new
URL] ) is the preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both
identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.

There's a good possibility that this is being caused by a third-party
program (adware, spyware, parasite).
