Illegal Operations

[squirt_lel \(removethis\)]

Lately I have been having serious trouble with my Internet
Explorer. If I try to use it, I automatically get a window
that tells me that it has done an illegal operation. So I
hit the close button so that Internet Explorer can shut
down. But then I get a second window that tells me again
about some error that has occured with Microsoft Internet
Explorer and if I still have trouble, I should restart my
computer. Even when I try to open some folders on my
desktop, such as My Computer and the Recycle Bin, I just
get the illegal operations warning for Explorer. What's
going on exactly? I haven't downloaded anything new
(except for IE 6.0 today) and I haven't opened any
attachments from e-mails. Is there some virus that I don't
know about? Please help, this is very frustrating!

IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
