IE6 has taken to shutting down upon visiting some
websites. While the page is loading, it will just close.
No error or fault messages. I'm stumped. No support
from MS as they consider it a part of Windows. I have 98SE
and am not going to pay $35.00 to fix what I feel is their
problem. Any advise beyond swtiching to another browser?
 
Look for spywares. Also if you have Yahoo companion it may be the culprit.
IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.
