I have been having problems in the last week with my IE.
It closes itself constantly. I usually have to restart it
a few times before it will stay open and allow me to
surf. Sometimes it will ask to send an error message,
sometimes it says it performed an illegal operation, other
times it just shuts down and does not give me a message at
all as to why it closed. This is increasingly
frustrating. I did have a Trojen.gen virus that i cleaned
completely and i am not showing any current viruses. does
this mean i need to load a new OS and all my software?
 
Check your system for "hijackware".

HijackThis (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip) is the
preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both identify and remove
any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
