3. What's the full name of the McAfee application (e.g., McAfee

been installed on this machine?
5. Repost: Did a McAfee or Norton free-trial come preinstalled on the

Thanks again for your response:
I didn't get a chance to finish answering your questions.
I have used McAfee for years and just downloaded it when I got my new
PC
back in 09 and yes it's current. I use Verizon DSL. Defender is the
only
spyware I use.
I haven't used registry cleaner for over a year. However, like an
idiot,
I
used it yesterday hoping that would fix it.
Your injudicious use of "UNIBLUE Registry cleaner 2009" may have
/caused/
the problem! If you ever think your Registry needs to be cleaned,
repaired, boosted, tuned-up, cured, tweaked, fixed, or optimized (it
doesn't), read
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your
own
conclusions. Also see
http://blogs.technet.com/markrussin.../02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspx
What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is
your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than
Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer?

I'm running windows XP SP3 I.E.8. all of a sudden I started to get
the
"STACK OVERFLOW AT LINE 0" error msg when in I.E.. I'm a little
uneasy
to
just go
ahead and clean my registry which I'm told is where the problem
lies.
I
have UNIBLUE Registry cleaner 2009, but I hear stories that
cleaning
your
registry is not the best thing to do. Someone suggested to remove
JAVE
and
FLASH, but I'm hesitant to do that as well. Other than this error I
have
no
other problems, XP runs well and fast.
Any suggestions ?
