explorer error

[ian]

When IE is opened, after about 15 secs, I get a small
window saying "Explorer has caused an error in
~8776819248.TMP. Explorer will now close" It also
recommends restarting the computer but that does nothing!
Hitting the 'close' button in this window will shut
everything down but it is quite possible to leave it in
the corner and use IE as normal! I have spysweeper
installed and have downloaded IE 6 service pack but to no
avail! Anybody know how I can get rid of this?
Thanks

It is possible you may have parasites, spyware, adware or
malware on your system causing the problem. Download
and install, you *must* update the programs prior to running to
be sure they have the latest definitions, then run the programs
below. They are free and very effective.Be sure to run both
SpyBot and Adaware, as what one does not detect the other
may. It is important that you follow all directions carefully:
