Something Wrong With My Windows Explorer... Effecting My Internet?

Question

Down @ the bottom of your screen where it says what programs and windows you have open? ITunes, yahoo, whatnot...? My computer runs fine until I open my internet and the internet windows I have open don't show on the bottom of my screen.

Whenever I close out of the internet it basically freezes and I have to control, alt, del to get out and then a thing will come up and say "windows explorer not running properly" and it'll ask me if I want to wait it out, restart it, or close it.

When I close it, all that's left is my desktop photo and I have to restart my computer, when I wait it does nothing and when I restart windows explorer everything is okay again until I get online...

What could this be and how do I fix it?

I'm running Vista.

Answer 1

I totaly agree with the pervious answer,

IE is to sensitive to attacks (virus / spam / ....)

use firefox, is my advice

Using http://www.hitmanpro.nl which is a free anti spyware / adware tool which does use multiple engines is a great tool to do a checkup and clean (fully automated) of your machine.

most problem will be solved with this

Answer 2
