Internet Explorer Won't Close

[Guest]

I'm running IE 6, SP 1 with Win98. If I have multiple IE windows open and
try to close any, IE crashes. Even when I try CTL-ALT-DEL, I cannot get it
to close, or the computer to shut down normally, I have to hit the power
button, then go through scandisk on the next startup. Any ideas on how to
resolve this are very welcome...

This might be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite)

Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

Or...
A legitimate program running in the background may be causing this. Disable
(for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers, security,
anti-virus, etc. You may have to reinstall, or not reinstall, a program.

Hope this helps,
Don
