Running IE6 on ME. IE gives no issues at all for me until
I close a browser window. Then system locks so badly I
have to cycle power to reboot. Have run Adaware, Spybot
and Norton's anti-virus repeatedly to no avail. System
runs fine after closing Opera, Netscape or Mozilla. Any
help would be appreciated

There's more than Ad-Aware and Spybot S & D to try. See
Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

Thanks tons! Looks like sister-in-law was hitting some
porn sites when visiting. Hijacker and cwshredder caught
several sex dialers and misc crap that Adaware and Spybot
missed. All is well except her parents are quite upset!
LOL

Thanks
