Recently IE 6 keeps suddenly and without warning shutting down completely
when I click on various google search links.

I've looked at the MS knowledge base and it offers two patches, but only for
specific types of pages which cause this or a similar problem.

I have no idea if my 'problem pages' are the same type. How do you check
them?, and what else could be causing the problem?

Using IE 6.0.2800.1106, reguarly updated via MS, XP Pro, ADSL

TIA,

1. IE6-specific newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser

2. Check your system for "hijackware":

CoolWebSearch Chronicles

Run these tools in the following order with nothing else running in
background:

1. CWShredder (fix all found)

2. Ad-Aware (fix all found)

3. Spybot (RTFM but generally fix everything in red)

Important: You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each
and every use, even "right out of the box".  But even they can't catch
everything, 24/7.  When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe) is the preferred
tool to use.  It will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware.  **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 for expert analysis, not here.**

[Alternate download pages for many of the above tools may be found at
http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm.]

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan.  From
now on, do both daily.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
