My IE 6 browser closes itself as soon as the web page it
is loading is completed, a real pain when google is your
home page! This problem is intermittant and has affected
me several times in the past weeks. Generally I am unable
to use IE 6 to surf the web for a day or two when I am
affected by this problem, then it goes away all on its
own!
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Open the Internet Options applet in Control Panel
Uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions" on the Advanced tab.
You may also have to set the Home Page to about:blank
Then eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
