Error message after manually exiting IE

[Guest]

I started getting the following error message when I manually exit Internet
Explorer:

Iexplore.exe – Application error

The instruction at “0x629133b1†referenced memory at “0x6291333b1â€. The
memory could not be “readâ€.

Click on OK to terminate the program.

When I click on OK, the message disappears and the computer seems to
function normally. Occasionally, clicking on OK brings up the Microsoft Error
Reporting box. If I click “Send Error Report†the error reporting process
starts, and then the computer freezes.

I am running Windows XP Home on an hp Pavilion 526x desktop. Internet
Explorer is Version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519.

Is there a way to fix this situation so that I don’t get the error message?

Thanks for the very helpful response. I do run updated anti-virus and
anti-spyware programs reguarly, and they were reportin my system as not
infected - made the problem more confounding.

I also posted on Yahoo and was subsequently advised that the problem was
probably caused by a malfunction in my Yahoo toolbar. I deleted and
reinstalled Yahoo toolbar, and the problem no longer occurs.
