IE shuts down when "sponsor" word is used

When typing "http://www.sponsor.com" in IE address bar, IE trie to open but
shuts down without any error message. Then I can reopen IE and use it for any
other sites and purpose. The same thing happens when typing "sponsor" in the
"search for" in f.ex. MSN explorer, Yahoo, Kvasir or any other search motors.
On Microsoft's web site I can search for "sponsor" without problem.
Using WinXP SP2, IE 6.0.2900 SP2 on a DELL Dimention 8200 80GB, 1.8GHz (#1)
I have tried different solutions after reading this newsgroup topics and
other articles.
Also tried to run NIS2005 complete search, MS Antispyware and Other
antispyware programs. No success.
What is very strange, is that the same problem occurs on my other PC, a DELL
Dimention XPS R350, WIN2000 SP4 IE SP2, 80GB, 350MHz.
On my 3rd PC, a Compaq Laptop, WinXP SP2, IE 6.0 SP2 no problems.
So far I have worked only on my newest PC (#1) to solve the problem
Can somebody help??

Seems like nobody had anything to this question. But if some body reads this
and have similar problems, I found that there was a *sponsor* in the "Black
List" in a POP-Up stopper software. When this line was removed, everything
works fine.
