Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

[Danielle]

The following error msgs keep popping up when I am
running Internet Explorer. I've searched through the help
and support and can't find anything. HELP!!

"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"
msg1 : "abnormal program termination" OR
msg2 : "This application has requested the Runtime to
terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the
applications support team for more information."

After those msgs, Internet Explorer quits.

How can I fix this?

Danielle,
This could be a parasite problem. Try Ad-aware and/or Spybot.
See: Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:

Do you have this parasite installed?

Another possibility:
From Internet Options> Advanced, if you have Sun Java and microsoft VM
(virtual machine) uncheck Sun Java.

Hope this helps,
Don
