Having a problem on a Win 98 SE machine running IE6. IE
shuts down unexpectedly when going from page to page
within some, but not all, websites. I get the message
that it has "experienced a problem and must shut down".
The error signature is App Name: iexplore.exe AppVer:
6.0.2800.1106 ModName: msvcrt.dll ModVer: 6.1.8293.0
Offset: 00015ca2
Have tried reinstalling, running the detect and repair,
to no avail. Any ideas?
 
One known issue.

How to delete Yahoo companion.
Iexplore caused an Invalid Page Fault in module Msvcrt.dll at 0187:78003b5d
"Kudzu Surf" reported that this fixed his error message and problem.

Since Yahoo companion is a BHO then you may have something else causing
this.

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

If you use a HOSTS file, beware of this new issue.
Ad-Aware has decided to include a new detection when scanning the HOSTS
file. This now creates a "Bad hosts file entry" in the log file generated at
the end of a scan. The best thing to do is to place a check in each entry,
right-click and select: "Add selection to ignorelist". Otherwise if you let
AWW "fix" these items it will trash the HOSTS file! Even if you have it
"locked" by [example] SpywareBlaster or Winpatrol. It does not return the
attributes and renames the HOSTS file incorrectly to hosts.

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.
