IE 6 keeps crashing when I visit certain sites. It keeps
indicating that it is probably due to Spyware. I have
scaned my PC repeatedly with several tools and following
instructions of websites but there are no hints of any
spyware on my PC. I'm using IE 6.0.2800.1106 with all
the patches I know of. Anyone else having this problem
or know how to fix it?

Thanks,
Rob

Rob,

"It keeps indicating that it is probably due to Spyware"

What indicates that? IE does NOT provide that type prompt!

The first thing to do is to scan your system for the possibility of
unknown\unwanted spyware or parasites that may be causing your problem(s).
