IE 6.0

[John]

I have been having a ton of problems with my IE 6.0. It
is very unstable and i continually get the message that
internet Explorer has encountered a problem and has to
close. One crash after the next! I have tried to remove
the "smart tag", but I don't have one. i have tried to
unistall IE and reinstall it from a disc, but the
computer will not let me, continually states that a newer
version is installed, even when i have uninstalled it.
I don't know what to do????
Any help????????

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
