----------------------------------------------------
When you click the Internet Explorer icon, window may flash a second and quits. Or, it may show an Error-Reporting dialog. This may be due to a malware Browser Helper Object which causes Internet Explorer process to terminate. If you see the Error-Reporting dialog, click "to see what data this report contains" and identify the Module Name causing this error.
Temporary solution is to disable third-party browser extensions in Internet Explorer and enable IE functionality:
1. Click Start, Run, type Control Inetcpl.cpl
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Under Browsing, clear the Enable third-party browser extensions
(requires restart) check box.
4. Restart Internet Explorer.
*Then, you need to eliminate the malware*.

Can somebody tell me how to clear my Internet Explorer
Browser Cache without going through IE? I'm unable to open
IE 6, due to some sort of error, and I need to clear the
cache so that I can restart set-up, but I can't do it
through IE. Thanks.
