I have a PC that seems to restart IE 6 almost everywhere I
try to browse.
It gives a message stating IE needs to restart and send an
error report to microsoft.
Then restarts IE 6 in another window.
I ran AdAware and found 119 occurances, but am not sure
what to do next.
Some of the IE windows, when restarted point to different
home page also.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
I believe this may be due to CoolWebSearch or its affiliates

Homepage changes unexpectedly:

For Prevention and to know how to protect the system from spyware:

And, post the modname as said in the Error-Report dialog.
