still have the problem of certain sites closing the IE application .
I have the latest Microsoft spyware beta, it reports I am clean.
I have also deleted and re-installed IE6.
I have installed SP1 from Microsoft.
99% works, it is just a few sites that seem to do this.Could it be related
to my settings?

Have you run other spyware removal programs such as CWShredder, Ad-aware and
Spybot? No one program catches everything.

Try Ad-Aware, Spybot S & D and CWShredder. If they don't fix it post a
HijackThis log in a proper forum (not here).

What You Should Know About Spyware
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/devioussoftware.mspx

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of these programs ,
download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

See
Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

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:
