I have a number of computers that keep shutting Internet Explorer Down most
time you open it up to browse the web. ERROR Message says: Internet
Explorer has encountered a problem and need to close. It is within a collage
network. I have applied 2 security updates to the 3 of the machines
involved, but they still do the same thing. I am a bit lost as to what is
causing the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Third party browser helpers. (Internet Options/Advanced Tab). There have
been some reported problems with the latest version of the Google toolbar.
Please see previous posts for more info.
