Internet Explorer Error Message

When I use a link from outlook express e-mail or when I
use Internet Explorer and try to use links from any site
on the web, I keep getting the following message:
"Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." There is an
option to send an error report and then the site shuts
down. I have gone to the tech support site and
downloaded what are probably a lot of useless updates,
because the problem still persists. Does anyone know how
to solve this problem?
Thank You.

I would try re-installing Internet Explorer 6 altogether
I don't believe the windows security & critical updates that you mentioned downloading are going to fix your problem
Go to the following website (if you can :-)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/i

Look for the Internet Explorer 6 download now link, click on it, choose your language of preference (ex. english), click on download now, a setup file will attempt to download, you will be prompted to either Open or Save this file, choose Open, when it is done, you will be brought to an Internet Explorer setup screen (after agreeing to all the verbose EULA's), internet explorer 6 will be downloaded again (allow some time for this to complete), reboot your pc when prompted to, allow the rest of the ie6 updates to be properly installed, then test out internet explorer to see if the same problems come up again. If they do, it may not be a problem with internet explorer 6, it may be related to excessive amounts of spyware possibly installed on your system. If so, get Ad-Aware or SpySweeper installed on your pc, perform full system scans and get rid of all that spyware fluff - your pc & ie6 will run better because of it.
