hung application

[matt shultz]

Last night something very strange started to happen:
within 5-10 minutes of connecting to the internet, a
series of internet explorer windows started to open. None
of them opened all the way: all of them froze, about
halfway through. I've spent several hours trying to
correct the problem, but nothing seems to work. I've also
noticed that internet explorer takes a few seconds longer
to load now.

If it helps, here's the Error Signature:
szAppName: IEXPLORE.EXE
szAppVer: 6.0.2800.1106
szModName: hungapp
szModVer: 0.0.0.0
offset: 00000000

Have you checked for viruses, trojans, spyware?

What does a scan with a current antivirus program (meaning a version not
earlier than 2002 and using updated virus definitions) show? Also,
remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from www.security.kolla.de
and Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs
before running them. It is best to run antivirus and spyware removal
tools in Safe Mode.

When you are sure your machine is virus and spyware-free, if the problem
continues, please repost. Include some details about your computer, how
you connect to the Internet (method, ISP), and what you've already done
to troubleshoot the problem.
