Hi,
I am unable to close IE window when i click on close. IE
stops responding immediately. If i click on close again I
get the program not responding message. If i click on end
now, all the IE windows that are open gets closed.
The problem is more acute as I get lot of unwanted pop-
ups. I have tried spy-bot and adaware. I have most up to
date virus scanner and IE 6, Windows 2000 service pack 4.
I even rolled back IE to its previous version and upgraded
it to 6 again, but all in vain.
Can anybody help?
It is possible you may have parasites, spyware, adware,
malware, or hijackware on your system causing the problem.
Download and install, you *must* update the programs prior
to running to be sure they have the latest definitions, then
run the programs below. They are free and very effective.Be
sure to run both SpyBot and Adaware, as what one does
not detect the other may.
