IE6 crashing frequently

[szkoplin]

I am experiencing frequent errors in IE6.
Here is an example of one of the latest.
I'll be happy to provide any further info I can...

Can anyone help?

I suggest the first thing to do is have a look for spyware using the simple
utilities below...

This is all too common a cause of IE faults. In your case note the last item
LSPfix and get it first.


--
SpyBot Search and Destroy

Microsoft Antispyware

Ad Aware
http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE...045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5
Important - LSP-Fix
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

Be aware that using either of these to actually remove spyware can result in
some programs refusing to work, in other words "Free" programs that you
downloaded on condition you accepted ads and so called "Research" may get
broken and you might want to uninstall them first. Some spyware actually
breaks Windows trying to force it's way in and you should arm yourself with
LSP-Fix before starting in case you lose internet connectivity.

charlie,
Thanks for the quick response.
I do regularly run both Spybot and Ad Aware in addition to Norton
antivirus.
I've downloaded and run the LSPfix program, so I'll give it a little
time and see if that did the trick.
Thanks again.
Steven
