Hi steelmind
Help! I've done all the necessary debugging, adaware,
virus, and spyware stuf, but IE still runs slow
& "encounters a problem & needs to close". Are there any
other things I can try? I use another browser now, but I
really like to use IE & right now it's frustrating to the
point of insanity. Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

It is possible you may still have malware, spyware or parasites on your
system
that can cause this problem. In addition to running your updated anti-virus
program, you should do the following to be sure none of these are present on
your system. Follow all instructions carefully:
