I used Mozilla as my primary web browser, but whenever I use IExplorer
and after I shut it down I get an error message" 'The instruction at
"0x01c83795" referenced memory at "0x0160ad58". The memory could not
be "read". Click OK to terminate the program." Could this just be
because I'm primarily using Mozilla and not IE?
 
Hi,
This is probably being caused by another program, possibly malware, possibly
legitimate.

Start by disabling third-party toolbars, ad-blockers, etc.

Then use BHODemon 2.0 from http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm
to disable BHO's to see if one of them is causing this.

Then you will want to conduct a thorough search for malware. Download,
update and run Ad-aware, Spybot and (if running WinXP) MS Anti-Spyware
(Beta.)
