IE frequently shuts down. Error message reports error in
username.exe file (if I recall correctly). What's that?
And how do I fix it?

Many thanks!

Happened again, and this time I wrote it down. Error
message is "Iexplore has caused an error in user.exe.
Iexplore will now close." I have no virus. I did check
the knowledge base indicated in the first reply and my
file is Mshtml.dll 6.0.2800.1264 although my IE version is
6.0.2800.1106. I'm running Windows Me. Can't find any
Knowledge Base article dealing with user.exe.

Many thanks 4 the help!

IE errors in User may very well be caused by a parasite.

Cannot launch IE, however, I can launch Outlook Express, which leads me to
think that the problem is only with IE6.
Solved the problem. It was apparently caused by the free popup stopper
supplied by my ISP. Just deleted the popup stopper and everything is up and
running.


Other Parasites have been known to cause this type of errors. Check this
