I am having problems trying to load a specific website (www.suprnova.org).
About 80 % of the time, the website crashes IE for some reason. I've
reinstalled ie6 to no avail.

The problem I keep having, is that I can't end task of the crashed IE, and
always have to reboot the computer as a result. In the task manager, I'll
see several IEXPLORE instances running, but can't stop the process on one of
them.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
Steve,
There's a good possibility that this is being caused by a third-party
program (adware, spyware, parasite)

Download, install, *update* and run these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/

thanks for the advice. I actually already had run ad-aware to no avail. I
will try spybot.

Interesting thing is I tried loading the site with Mozilla, no problem at
all, comes right up. Unfortunetly, I don't like Mozilla.

ran spybot to no avail. Looks like I may have to use Mozilla just to access
this one website.

Thanks for the tip. I think I found the problem to be with NAV04
...uninstalled it and it seems to be working much better now.
