IE6 causes system to reboot--HELP!!!

[Travis]

When browsing from site to site, my system crashes and
restarts. I can use netscape without a probelm. Sometimes
it happens immediately, sometimes I can browse a few sites
then it happens. I have gone to windows update and
obtained all recommended updates. I have a cable modem.
The modem is working fine--I can receive email and play
online games without issues. Any ideas???

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
