Internet Explorer problem!

SmittenBySeigo · 03-09-2006, 08:34 PM

Hey! I've been having this problem with my IE. It crashes randomly, even when I'm not using it, it gives me that "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to shut down..." all the time. Also, when I press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, I can see about 3 iexplorer.exe applications, so something keeps trying to use Internet Explorer and I don't know what it is...It said something about Add-ons but I don't know which ones to disable and stuff.

I tried scanning my computer on HouseCall but it never works cause it crashes. So I downloaded Firefox, and scanned my computer on HouseCall, but it says it'll take about 5 days or something...

I don't know how to fix this, please help...Thanks!

Ok I'll try that thanks...But I think I already had this program and it didn't help me. If this doesn't work, what should I do next??
Thanks!

:Edit:

It just did it again, this is what it brings me to, when I click 'Send report"

Ok, at the risk of sounding like a fanboy... Scrap IE and get Firefox, I had that problem from time to time with IE and it started getting really bad. Got fed up, got Firefox, got much happier

Weird, I never had any issues with IE6. Have you tried doing an IE repair?

But start with making sure your system is 100% free from infections.

I do have Firefox, it's what I'm using right now. I can't do that Repair thing because I don't have the Windows XP CD-ROM disc....>.<

Basically SPYWARE

iexplorer.exe is a process belonging to the AdClicker advertising program. This process monitors your browsing habits and distributes the data back to the author's servers for analysis. This also prompts advertising popups. This program is a registered security risk and should be removed immediately.

... get rid of it and you will have your IE working fine again. Use this as your guide: Basic Malware Removal

Your problem is not IE6 but a third-party program that pretends to be IE.
