PLEASE HELP ME!!! Lately when I browse the internet
through Explorer I recieve the following popup
message.......
"Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for any inconvenience." I have spoke
to my computer manufacture and nothing seems to work. It
is only gotten worse with each passing day. Is this a
virus? I am stummped on this one. I recently went
to "Verizon DSL", previously I had dial-up and never
encountered this problem. Please Help point me in the
right direction to correct this problem. I am about to re-
format my entire hard drive to try and fix the problem. I
hope I dion't5 have to resort to that.
Thank you,
M. Foote
