Browser suddenly closes for certain websites

[Andy]

When I try to go to lets say www.radioshack.com the
internet explorer window sudden closes and I can't access
the site. It only happens with certain web sites though.
I have no idea what the problem is. Version
6.0.2600.0000. Any ideas?

Check your system for "hijackware":

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the Spyware forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**

Update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From now on,
do both daily.
