urlmon.dll error

[Filo]

I keep getting an error from IE6 telling me the browser
has encountered an error and needs to close. When I look
at the technical error details, it shows me that the issue
was with urlmon.dll. I searched some of Microsoft's
knowledge base and found that there is a fix for the issue
but it does not tell me where to get it. Can anyone tell
me where I might find the fix?

Thanks.

Q818529 is installed.

I cannot copy/paste all of the error details because the
dialog box will not allow me to select anything. Here is
the Error Signature I am getting though:

AppName: iexplore.exe
ModVer: 6.0.2800.1188
AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106
Offset: 000082a2
ModName: urlmon.dll

It is a message which says that IE has experienced an
error and wants to close. It asks if I want to send the
error to Microsoft.

Let me know if I can get you any more info about the error.

Thanks.

Was your anti-virus application running when you installed Q818529?
Whatever your Windows version may be (?), you should not have Urlmon.dll
version 6.0.2800.1106 running after installing Q818529. (See "File
Information" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=818529)

You could uninstall Q818529 via Add/Remove Programs ('Internet Explorer
Q818529') and reinstall it via Windows Update (AV disabled, please)...

....but I think you'll find you've been hijacked by one or more of the
"malware" out there. See this related (and long) recent thread in this
newsgroup: http://snurl.com/1ucf (copy/paste this URL into your browser).

Good luck!
