Multiple browser instances popping up with Google Earth

Using Google Earth, I browsed to Moscow Russia. There, you will see a
YouTube placemark for Moscow Churches. The idea is that YouTube
video's can be played from the clicked location to see video of/around
that area of Google Earth.

After clicking on the YouTube icon, I get all these attempts to
download something.  But IE 7 says it cannot download "." unspecified
error.

Anyway, there seems to be a JavaScript error because I see, real
briefly, a JavaScript like URL that tries to fire Console.Firebug.
It's too quick because what appears is the download error.

At any rate, eventually I get a browser crash. These instances just
keep spawning and I guess IE7 cant handle it.

What I am asking is for someone to try it out with the following specs
which mimic my own or come close to it.

- Google Earth (latest version as of 6/26/2008)
- IE version 7
- Vista SP 1

Now, for the IE7, I disabled all my addons and nothing changed.

I suppose it can be some exploit attempt or perhaps a virus but I
really think it's something that wasn't handled. Nonetheless, this
wont be the first time multiple instances of IE7 spawned so it could
well be a virus or bad add-on.

I just need to confirm if this happens to anyone else.

In summary, go to Moscow, Russia through Google Earth and try to view
the Moscow Russia, Churches YouTube. There's not may youtube icons so
it should be rather easy to find.

Thanks for any assistance

Hi E.

Tools>Internet Options - Advanced tab. Check both "Disable Script Debugging
(Internet Explorer)" and "Disable Script Debugging (Other)".

If that does not work try starting Firefox and disable the Firebug
extension.
