IEXPLORE invalid page fault ???

[Timothy Henningsen]

IE6 is crashing at times when typing text into the address
bar or in text fields on webpages. There's no sign of the
blaster virus on my machine as I don't see the .exe file
in my system folder. Any help? I'm getting the following
error explanation:

Recently this error message has been caused by some parasites.

Problem Shut down last night and everything was OK. Tried to launch IE6
today and received the following message:
IExplorer caused a General Protection Fault in module USER.EXE at

Cannot launch IE, however, I can launch Outlook Express, which leads me to
think that the problem is only with IE6.
Solved the problem. It was apparently caused by the free popup stopper
supplied by my ISP. Just deleted the popup stopper and everything is up and
running.
