IE6 Hang ups??

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

my internet explorer has been "hanging up" on me when I gotto X out of the
window. Why does it do that, the crash response page said that it's a virus,
adware, spyware or malacious software. How do I fix this? I've downloaded the
Windows SpyWare Beta1 like sunday, it found 6 programs and I deleted them. No
I'm having this hang up like everytime I X out of a IE window. Can someone
please help. My computer is updated and virus and spyware free. I don't
understand why I'm having this problem all of a sudden. IM on AIM @
JLPerformance or email me @ JerseyGT@hotmail.com thanks. Jeff

Boot into Safe Mode and run the anti-spyware there.
Update your anti-virus and ren a scan. If you don't have an anti-virus get
the free one at

Another thing to do is not to use IE6 because it has so many problems during
the long run that its not worth fighting with. I would recommend switching to
Mozilla Firefox, which is much better and so similar its easy to find your
way around in.
