HELP!!! Internet Keeps Crashing

[4ever21]

Every time I click on Internet Explorer the page opens up and then automatically crashes. Any thing I can do or does any one know what is causing this?

Use mozilla firefox

It isn't the Internet that's crashing; it's your system. Check for viruses and spyware. These are free and well respected:

Ad-Aware

SpyBot

while both of those solutions are valid, and might fix his problem, he cant get to the net to donwload any of those programs, lol, more information would be good, how does it crash, is there an error or other symptom, or does the browser window simply close? does it stay open but jsut not access anything... hook us up with the juicy details...

p.s. however a simple burner on say the pc your posting from, or a small jump drive would do the trick nicely

Go to the control panel and go to Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab, and find Enable third-party browser extensions. Uncheck it, and reboot. That might help. What it does is disable third party add ons such as search bars. I find that many times you get two or three search bars going, and they all argue with each other and make IE crash.

If you have that many search bars, most likely you've been hijacked! There aren't very many legitimate search bars...

Thanks all - I just did a system restore and that fixed the problem.
