I keep experiencing the message Internet Explorer has encountered a problem
and needs to close but I don`t seem to be offered/able to get any details.I
then get an End Program Now message and then I have to log off and begin the
whole process again.This often goes on a number of times until I
finally,through frustration,give up.I would say that mostly this occurs when
reading my messages,but it does apply to web browsing also.on other
occassions,when attempting to access a web site,my computer makes a short
internal beep and the computer not responding message appears.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?Thank You.
P.S sorry to be so longwinded.
 
When was the aslt tiem that you used an antispyware program to clean the
spyware off of the system?

You're nowhere as long winded as some (and as my answer).

First eliminate any spyware.

you try to remove spyware using any of these programs , download a copy of

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

Ad-Aware does not catch everything. See my reply.
