illegal operation ??

[Jack Nation]

I use Win98/IE6 (recently installed latest SP1). For the last couple of
weeks, while using my Internet Browser, I frequently get the following
message:

"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."
Details:
IEXPLORE caused a general protection fault

Anyone help me on this one?
