Hi there,
Here is quote from [mvps.org/sramesh2k]
When you click the Internet Explorer icon, window may flash a second and
quits. Or, it may show an Error-Reporting dialog. This may be due to a
malware Browser Helper Object which causes Internet Explorer process to
terminate. If you see the Error-Reporting dialog, click "to see what data
this report contains" and identify the Module Name causing this error. In
most cases, it may be the spyware DLL. Therefore, reinstalling Internet
Explorer [in case of a spyware DLL] may not help.
To test with: Disable third-party browser extensions in Internet
Explorer:
1. Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Internet Options.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under Browsing, clear the Enable third-party browser extensions
(requires restart) check box.
5. Restart Internet Explorer.
If this helps, read here for further troubleshooting:
