I have been using Firefox now for several days just so I can see some
pages, and it has proved to be very stable. I am not talking about
anything exotic or some low traffic sites. This is happening at sites
such as cnnsi.com, espn, Drudge, Newsday, etc.

I get the cream/blue screen of death that says:

"Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience."

Here are the details of one of the error messages:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AppName: iexplore.exe

AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180

ModName: ole32.dll

ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180

Offset: 000460d0

C:\DOCUME~1\BRENTB~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ec2f_appcompat.txt

Exception Information

Code: 0xc0000005

Flags:: 0x00000000

Record: 0x00000000000

Address: 0x00000000775260d0

Window NT 5.1 Build: 2600

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, anybody have a clue? This happens with regularity, but is not
predictable.

TIA

First eliminate any scumware.
CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of these programs ,
download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

See
Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
