Internet Explorer

[Marianne]

Hello

Each time I use internet explorer 6 on Windows Millenium I
have the following message appearing:

Explorer has caused an error in
8568867576.TMP.
Explorer will now close.

If you continue to experience problems,
try restarting your computer.

If I close the dialogue box, the desktop disappears along
with the icons on the taskbar - which means I can't use
any other programs and also have to do an emergency
shutdown to close the computer. The problem is not
resolved even after restarting the computer.

Someone please help.

Have you tried deleting all your temporary files (usually under
c:\Windows\Temp)?

Clean your computer of all parasites.

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.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com

If you use a HOSTS file, beware of this new issue.
Ad-Aware has decided to include a new detection when scanning the HOSTS
file. This now creates a "Bad hosts file entry" in the log file generated at
the end of a scan. The best thing to do is to place a check in each entry,
right-click and select: "Add selection to ignorelist". Otherwise if you let
AWW "fix" these items it will trash the HOSTS file! Even if you have it
"locked" by [example] SpywareBlaster or Winpatrol. It does not return the
attributes and renames the HOSTS file incorrectly to hosts.

SpyBot-S&D

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.
