I have ran my virus scan ...no viruses detected...but my computer keeps freezing up and giving me and "internet explorer has stopped responding or encountered a problem and will now shut down"I then send an error report everytime it happens. Can anyone tell me why this happens and how can I fix it?
Internet explorer?ireland
You may have spyware.
You should have Windows Defender. It is free from Microsoft and watches your system prevents programs from taking over your home page etc.
Go here to read about and get it - http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security...
Two other free programs you should get %26amp; run about once a week are Spybot and Adaware. They also are free and you can get them both here - http://www.download.com/
Between those three you are doing a pretty good job of protecting your system and IE will likely run fine.
Internet explorer?microsoft outlook internet explorer
simple. Download Mozilla Firefox. Much better browser and you can upload all of your favorites from IE to it.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the browser. Also depending on the version of Windows you are running and if you have it enabled you can roll back your computer to an earlier date.
Virus Scan doesn't get rid of spyware. Go to PCHell.com and download a good anti-sypware program. Good Luck.
Delete the files in your profile's Temp and Temp Int folders. Barring that, build a new user with admin rights and login with that. If the problem goes away, it was being caused by corrupt settings in your profile.
Have you tried the microsoft support site to either find out the problem, or update your software with the latest patches.
Often works
The most simple way to fix your browser is reinstalling it. If you continue experiencing difficulties you may look for a PC tech, else get another browser, such as FIREFOX or AVANT or even NETSCAPE those are the most popular softwares around.
Other way, more complicated than the others is,,, rolling back your computer to an earlier time, tho it isn't that hard since it is a STEP by STEP process. But u have to remember the exact day the problem begun.
The other way.... and i don't think you like it is Formmating your hard drive and reinstall everthing (since O.S. to preffered softwares as MSN messenger)
Good luck =)
