iexplore.exe - application error

[JH]

I am running win XP Pro p4 with over 500MB ram norton ce
antivirus with latest updates and zone alarm firewall.
lately i have been getting frequent lock-ups. with
following dialog boxes:

iexplore.exe - application error
The instruction at "0x77f58738" referenced memory
at "0x00000038". The memory could not be "written".
click on OK to terminate the program.

at this point I have also lost all icons and taskbar
however desktop wallpaper remains, machine is very
slugish and somehow if I'm able to click OK to the above
prompt, another dialog comes up in about 30 sec or so as
follows:

iexplore.exe - application error
The instruction at "0x77f59163" referenced memory
at "0x0000002c". The memory could not be "read".
click on OK to terminate the program
click on CANCEL to debug the program

Ctrl-Alt-Del does not work
only way I have managed to shut down is by momentarily
pressing the power button and WinXP then starts shutting
down each running process individually.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP....
..

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, 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 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.
