In Outlook Express, I keep getting this error:
Hanging application iexplore.exe, version 6.0.2900.2180, hang module
hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.
I noticed I started receiving it after going into my pictures and then
clicking on send to: It was a movie so it was large but I don't think it
ever sent. Now I keep getting the above error.
I have already cleared out my sent items folder and delted items folder and
not sure how to get to the message that's causing the problem.
First eliminate any spyware.

Note that Ad-Aware and SpyBot-S&D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
