IE6 won't close

[Sudsysul]

Quite often I can't close IE, especially popups but also
the main window at times.. it just doesn't respond, so I
have to Ctrl Alt Del to close it out. What's up?
Thanks..

It's probably caused by a CoolWebSearch variant.

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
