"Internet Explorer has encounted a problem"

[smo5f]

Everytime I open up a brower window on my computer, about
2 mintues later I get the message Internet Explorer has
encountered a problem and must be closed" Then it asks
me if i want to send an error report. How do I stop this
from happening?

This is probably being caused by spyware/parasites. Work through the
solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.
