IE 6 windows ALL closing with no error message at random times.

[Jason]

Every so often, all of my IE windows close. I can be
doing something at the time, and at other times I can be
sitting there doing nothing. I can be looking at any
site, it doesn't seem specific.

Next thing I know, they all literally disappear with no
error message.

I'm on XP Home.

Help!

This is probably being caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite)

Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

Additional information at:

If not caused by malware, consider disabling (for diagnostic purposes)
legitimate programs running in the background which might be interacting
with IE- security, antivirus, ad-blockers, toolbars & other add-ons, etc.
You may have to uninstall then reinstall, or not reinstall, a program.

Hope this helps,
Don
