Visual C++ Runtime Library Error

[KWilson]

Running Vista Premium 64 bit
I am having a problem with the Visual C++ Runtime Library. The error message
says Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

IE (32 bit) was the only application I was running. I was at gamesville.com
and have had to close IE 3 times because of the error. I did not have this
problem any other time I have been at the site until today.

I tried to find other info on this error and found something that pertained
to XP, not Vista (at least the article did not mention Vista) but there was a
link for a hot fix which I am afraid to download because it says XP. There
were 2 .dll files (msvcrt.dll & msvcirt.dll) mentioned and both were version
7.0x which both of mine are. The article says that the files before version
7.0x did not produce the problem.

Should I download the hot fix or is there something else I should do?

Hi,

Tools/Manage Addons/Enable or Disable Addons. You have a plugin that is not
behaving properly, but is loading with IE. Disable those that load with IE
until the behavior is corrected.

Hi, Thanks for the response.

What I did that has so far, since last night and today, worked. I started
Task Manager to see what was running and although I did not have any instance
of IE running, there were 3 instances listed under Processes. I ended all 3
then restarted IE.

Now, if I could get IE to close properly! LOL. On some sites it will and
some it won't. On the home page I have set (manchesteroes.org) there isn't a
problem but when I go to sites that may use 3rd party cookies or ad tracking,
IE does not want to close.
I turned off the Live toolbar and IE seemed to close properly though. I do
not have the Google toolbar installed so can not turn it on/off. Hope MS
fixes that bug soon.

Multiple instances of iexplore.exe running are a good indication of malware
infection. Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -

Thanks Malke for your response.

I will look at the link and see if there is a problem. I thought maybe it
was because I had started the 64 bit IE and closed it, then started the 32
bit IE. I no longer have multiple IE processes running, but it does not hurt
to check more throughly.
