Everytime I try to close my internet explorer window... this happens... what is going on??

Question

Ok, so, I have a normal window up, lets say it's Y!A. I go to the top right hand side to close it out and a box pops up in the middle of my screen and says...

Microsoft Windows

Internet Explorer has stopped working

Windoes can check for an online solution for the problem.

(then it gives me these two options to click on)

->Check online for a solution and close the program

->Close the program

Ok...what is this and why is it happening. Usually my window will just close w/ out that hassle. It also does something else... a similar message about restarting the window.

I added some software for a printer and ran some updates...since then, its been doing this the past few days.....

Anyone know what this is or what I can do to get rid of this?

Thanks SO much in advance...
