Internet explorer 6 Issues

[Dean]

Hi,

My Microsoft Internet Explorer browser has a tendency to
shutdown upon browsing web sites. A window pops up
saying that "Internet explorer has encountered problems
and must shutdown", then a option is given on whether I
want to "send" or "don't send" the error message to
Microsoft.

I have no idea what is causing this. I have frequently
scanned for virus's and trojans and my PC is clean. I
have been to the Windows update site and I have all of
the latest critical updates loaded. I can't seem to find
any fixes at Microsoft regarding this issue.

If anyone has encountered this problem or knows how to
fix it I would appreciate the help.

To clarify the problem. The Internet explorer does work,
but it seems the further I go into a website the more
likely the problem will occur. Could this be an issue
that my Explorer is having with "certain" web pages
within a site?

Anyhow, hopefully someone out there can help.

Thanks.

Regards

DZ

Hi Dean

You may have a hijacker, malware, spyware or parasites on your system
causing this problem. In addition to running your updated anti-virus
program, you should do the following to be sure none of these are present on
your system. Some variants of malware can replicate themselves over and
over if not removed properly. Please follow all instructions carefully to
be sure your system is thoroughly cleaned

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:

Be sure to run CWShredder, Ad-aware and Spybot.
Also be sure to use the HijackThis. Please do not post your log to this
newsgroup, but to the SpywareInfo or the Aumha HiJackThis forums
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30, to allow the experts there to

Download Sysclean.com, from Trend Micro, here:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp along with the latest pattern
file, here:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp
Be sure to read the "How-to" info here:

You might also want to get Art's updater, SYS-UP.Zip, here for future
updating of these: http://home.epix.net/~artnpeg/.
(If you download and use the updater from the beginning, it will
automatically handle downloading the other files. Place them in a dedicated
folder after appropriate unzipping, and then run. This scan may take a long
time, as Sysclean is VERY extensive and thorough

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs
below, 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.

Also, get a copy of WINSOCKFIX available at:
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
and
WinsockXP Fix- WinXP
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html

also
From LavaSoft- all versions of Windows-

also ....
(NOTE: It is reported that in XP SP2, the command netsh winsock reset
will fix this problem without the need for these programs.)

Then download and install Mozilla Firefox and set it as your default browser.

Am having the same problem and it's extremely frustrating.
I thought it was my computer or the spyware, so I
uninstalled the spyware, but it hasn't helped. Plus it's
an intermittent problem.

I use Yahoo for my email and am experiencing problems
accessing my email from IE. Last few days I cannot view
my incoming email on Yahoo.

No thanks. I don't have a problem. I don't have XP..... or SP2. I also
have Firefox, but, like IE better.
