Hi. Everytime I try to play a video whether it is on CNN.com, MSN.com or
stupidvideos.com I always get an error report stating that there was an error
with iexplorer.exe. Then it shows the error screen, asks if I want to cancel,
enter or debug. No matter what I pick all the browser window(s), no matter
how many I have open, crashes. I have sent error report after error report
and nothing has fixed it. I have updated, and updated and still I have this
problem. I have a fairly new Dell computer with Internet Explorer version
6.0. What is up with this?? Can anyone help?? PLEASE, do not respond if you
are going to advise that I download some spyware program. SIGH!!!!

First of all this group specializes on Outlook Express so you may get a
better response in the Internet Explorer group(s) but it's not a problem
the group names can be misleading.

Check the name of the file - I think it's probably a typo but EXPLORER.EXE
is the local file browser and IEXPLORE.EXE in Internet Explorer - if you
have anything called IEXPLORER it's likely a cleverly named trojan, and
don't worry, nobody here is going to recommend spyware

Do you have anything like google toolbar, yahoo toolbar or any security
software that claims to block pop-ups and stuff. Sometimes deactivating
those things for testing will help you narrow down the possibilities. Have
you tried anything so far like software or registry edits?

Here are some spyware killers that are not themselves spyware by the way.

SpyBot Search and Destroy

Microsoft Antispyware

Ad Aware

Important - LSP-Fix
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

Be aware that using either of these to actually remove spyware can result in
some programs refusing to work, in other words "Free" programs that you
downloaded on condition you accepted ads and so called "Research" may get
broken and you might want to uninstall them first. Some spyware actually
breaks Windows trying to force it's way in and you should arm yourself with
LSP-Fix before starting in case you lose internet connectivity.
