Internet explorer 6

[nubianprince]

Help! Everytime I click on a link and a new window opens in
internet explorer, after i close it, I get this message
that says "internet explorer has encountered a problem and
needs to be shut down". I always send the error reports to
microsof, but nothing has been done yet. What can I do? I
have windows XP.

Tonight, I just installed the IE6 sp1 and have nothing
but problems with it. About every 2 min. I get the same
error - something to do with a tvmbho.dll file which I
cannot find any reference to. I must have sent Microsoft
about 20 error reports tonight. We'll see what happens.

Hi,
This is probably being caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite)

Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

TVMBHO is a BHO (Browser Helper Object) which you probably didn't
deliberately install.

I have an open incident with MS on a similar issue - and an earlier post to
this group
1. number one answer to this is spyware
(I have none)
2. number two answer (thus far) is that IE is not handling a full cahce
condition.
There is some weight behind this supposition, as those experiencing
this problem here are regularly hitting sites with large JS and graphics as
well as one person with their cache set at 1 mb.

so
scan your system for viruses and spyware - make certain to get the most
up-to-date signatures
increase your IE cache by 200 mb or more
delete all your temp files

do NOT hold your breath waiting for microsoft to respond
this 'quality; recomendation i am passing on cost my organization $245

cheers
