Hi Jon
Try the following and see if it helps.
IE closes immediately after opening?
Per Merijn -
There is a variant of the Coolwebsearch trojan spreading that closes several
anti-spyware apps when you try to open them.
If this is happening to you, download PepiMK's CoolWWWSearch.SmartKiller
http://www.safer-networking.org/files/delcwssk.zip removal tool first and
run it. After it does its job, CWShredder and HijackThis will run properly
(as well Spybot S&D, Ad-aware and several anti-spyware forums).
Complete list by coolwebsearch variant with up-to-date information.

Go to

or
http://tinyurl.com/2oce8
and download HiJackThis. Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the
Temp folder, doubleclick HiJackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button. Press that, save the log some place you remember where it is.
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so DO NOT fix
anything yet.

Hi all
I'm running IE 6 on XP 5.1 and have a problem with IE closing when I try
to access some sites. There are no error messages - the page just starts
to load then IE closes.
