Getting "about: blank - Microsoft" Error

Whenever I exit IE - or often when simply navigating to a new page - I get a
message in the System Tray stating "about: blank - Microsoft" soon to be
followed by a Dr.Watson Postmortem Debugger message and then IE aborts.

Anyone else seeing this problem? Any ideas?

First, if you don't have WinXP SP2, get LSP-Fix - a free program to repair
damaged Winsock 2 stacks
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
save it because you might need to repair the Winsock 2 stacks after removing
the culprit.
For WinXP SP2 this command will restore the Winsock stacks if you can't
connect after clearing the malware.
Go to Start | Run and type
CMD
In the command window type
netsh winsock reset
Then get CWShredder
