Internet Explorer 6.0 Crashes XP Pro SP2

[Guest]

When viewing certain Web Sites, Internet Explorer 6, crashes causing a
Reboot. (Using Control-Alt-Delete doesn't work) Other Web Sites are fine.
Ebay.com and Canoe.ca causes the browser to crash almost everytime. The
problem started last week. The computer is checked for spyware using Spybot,
Spysweeper and Adaware regularly. Norton checks for viruses regularly. I
removed recent "Hotfixes" and retried to no avail. All "Hotfixes" were
reinstalled. I do use the new pop blocker with SP2. There hasn't been any new
software loaded on. This problem just started in the last week for no
apparent reason.

A Frustraded CART!
Thanks for any response!

First eliminate any scumware.
CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of these programs ,
download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
