Hi,

If you are certain this is not a result of applying the
patch, you may want to consider scanning your system for
Spyware.

You may first want to remove any third party helper
objects. This is best done by a program called BHOCop. It,
along with the rest of the programs, are freely available.
You can download BHOcop, and view an introduction to it,
from the following site:

http://support.honour.ca/bin/bhocop.zip

Once you download the file, run it, and install the program.
Then remove all objects you find that you are not familiar
with.

We'll now have you download some programs which shall aid
you in the actual removal of spyware programs which may be
running (and causing these problems).

First, download AdAware. This is an excellent program which
detects and deletes spyware, and other malware programs.
AdAware is available from:

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

After downloading and installing AdAware, *be sure to update
it*. This will ensure you are protected against the latest
threats. Then, run it.

Some versions can be particularly malicious - removing them
can cause you to lose your internet connection. Therefore,
we'll download the next two programs as precautionary
measures. If, after running these programs, you are unable
to connect to the internet, you may need to run these
programs to fix the connection.

They are available here:

http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

and

http://www.tacktech.com/pub/winsockfix/WinsockFix.zip

Directions for the last program can be found here:
http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257

Note: You'll only need to run these programs in the event
that removal of the evil programs causes some good
components to break. Otherwise, you can safely continue:

Next, we'll get CWShredder. This neat program catches
variants which may have been missed by AdAware. CWShredder
is available from:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

Once again, be sure to update it to ensure the latest threat
protection.

Lastly, you may find it necessary to rename your HOSTS file.
This step is used if you find yourself unable to connect to
specific sites. Instructions can be found here:
http://support.honour.ca/ldbh.solutions.php#blockers

The above procedures should help you remove these programs
and return your computer to a functional state.

More information about Adware and Spyware is available here:

http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm


If, after trying the above, of if the above does not apply,
feel free to reply to this post.

Best regards,

Altrus

I've had similar problems without resolution (on a new machine). I've run
all the spyware/malware/virus scanning and nothing turns up. Looking at
several other similar posts about IE on this group without resolution, I've
given up on IE and installed FireFox. Using it for several days now, it has
not crashed or hung on me once. Just my .02
