Within the last 4 days I can be reading a web page (not touching anything)
and the Browser will close. Does anyone know what would cause this? Thank
you
 
Thank you for the reply. That was my first thought too. I ran Ad-Aware and
deleted the two things it found yesterday. It happened again today about 1
hr. ago so I thought it might be something else.
 
Now I just ran my Zone Alarm spyware and it found 6 items. Maybe that will
fix the problem. Thanks
 
Yes, I've had the same problem for some time. MSoft dicusses this issue at:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834273/en-us

I haven't been successful in obtaining the hotfix discussed in the article.
My Win2000 OS machines don't have the problem. My WinXPHome OS on my laptop
drive me nuts because of the problem, and HP's support, as usual, wants me to
uninstall the operating system and reinstall it. That would surely guarantee
a fix!

The Browser has not closed by itself since I ran my Zone Alarm Ad Removal. It
found 6 items that Ad-Aware did not find. Hasn't closed for about 10 days
now.

What version of that module do you have?

Hint: If you have been doing any maintenance (e.g. security updates)
I suspect it will be a version much bigger than that. But it probably
is not a version which has hotfixes integrated into it. Hence, what
you then could do is install the hotfixed version from the same update
that you got your current version from. (See the appropriate
TechNet Bulletin for more instructions and ref KB897225)


Good luck
