Internet Explorer Problem

I can not connect to IE; all I get is a pop up: "IE has encountered a problem and needs to shutdown".

Help! I need some advice.

Thanks,

- Ric

The problem is most likely a virus called "W32/mydoom" it causes a DoS against your browser, which can cause some problems, if you can just pick a copy of Mcafee Virus Scan (No I don't work for them), run it and it will clean those viruses right up. Hope I helped!

I ran Norton more than once; didn't help. I switched to Netscape with no problem but I'm still puzzled with my IE6 problem.

Thanks for your help.
