Each time I close IE, I get the following message:
IExplore.exe - Application error
The instruction at "0x014a3798" referenced memory at
"0x014a3798". The memory could not be "read".
Click OK to terminate program.
MY OS is Windows XP (Home) and I am using IE6 SP1.
Any ideas what could be causing this? I also have
Netscape 7.1 on my system, but when I close it, I
don't have any problems or error msgs..Thanks

Has been answered many many times.

Ad browser hijacker parasites can cause this.

Get SpyBot available from
http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/ and update the reference files
through the Online update function.
Run it and select all items and remove.
You may have to reboot and rerun a couple of times to completely remove
them.
Also run the Immunize function to
prevent these nasties from installing again.

Install a good HOSTS file.
Blocking Ads, Parasites, and Hijackers with a Hosts File.
Download the hosts.zip file.
