Application Error

[Guest]

Ever since updating my system to SP2 I have been intermittently getting the
iexplorer.exe - application error when I close IE6 that has been reported a
number of times on this newsgroup.

I have removed all adware and spyware found by 3 different products Ad-ware,
spybot, and Xoftspy. I have reset browser options as suggested in several of
these articles ... any yet I still keep getting application errors when I
close explorer.

Anybody got any other ideas how to find out what is causing this error?

Hi,
A legitimate program running in the background may be causing this. Disable
(for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers, toolbars,
security, anti-virus, etc. You may have to reinstall, or not reinstall, a
program. Some program that interacts with IE may need an update to work
properly with XP SP2.

To verify that there's no malware present, download HijackThis from
http://www.merijn.org/downloads.html and post a log to one of the forums
listed on this page http://www.merijn.org/forums.html

Hope this helps,
Don

iexplorer.exe is not a legitimate MS file (iexplore.exe is).

Iexplorer.exe:

It's easy to miss, but it's probably a typo.
