Internet Explorer closing and restarting

[Tom]

Has anyone figured out the fix yet to the annoying problem
when a window appears while browsing that says " Microsoft
Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvienance." There is also
a check box with a check placed in it already that you can
uncheck that will restart Microsoft Internet Explorer. If
you un check it, then chances are your computer will crash
forcing you to do a forced shut down. It also gives you a
choice of send or don't send error report. Iv'e sent it
several times and have never found any fixes yet. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom

It sounds like you may have that virus that was going around sometime in
August. I can't remember the name of it, but a quick search of the Microsoft
database should find it and provide the fix.

It sounds like the Blaster worm. Symantec offers a fix at
