"Internet Explorer has caused a problem"

[Electra7]

When trying to access certain links, internet explorer 6
will freeze, will allow me to send an error report or not,
then closes and restarts the browser, thereby returning me
to my ISP homepage. I'm running ME, the absolute WORST
operating system Microsoft has come out with. Any
suggestions from anyone please, this happens at least 5
times a day...EVERYDAY! And yes, I'm running antivirus
software and I'm up to date on all my definitions. Thanks

A popup blocker or anti-virus program may be interfering with IE. Turn
these programs one at a time until you find the right one.

Java issue?

Tools/internet options/advanced/Microsoft VM
....only tick the JIT compiler box and leave the Java boxes un checked
(default)

Or, Parasite.
IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the malware is.

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
