One of the add-ons is probably causing this. See:

Thank you for the reply, but I cannot open the link. I get the message I
posted about when I try. Could you paste it?

<quote from my post>
To determine if an IE plugin is causing the crash, first, disable the tool
bands and Browser Helper Objects features:

1. Click Start, Run, type Control Inetcpl.cpl.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Under Browsing, click to clear the Enable third-party browser extensions
(requires restart) check box.
4. Restart Internet Explorer.

If disabling 3rd party extensions solves the problem, the problem is with a
malware Browser Helper Object [BHO]. Use ToolbarCop and spot the malware BHO
causing the problem.

Using ToolbarCop to remove the unwanted Toolband, Toolbar Icons and BHO:
