IE Closes on Connect

Ok here's the prob.

Whenever I try to start Internet Explorer, it gets an error message that says it has to close. I have a VERY fast computer with DSL so I don't know where this problem is coming from. I have ran Spybot and deleted the spyware from there but the problem still happens. How can I have access to Internet Explorer again?

P.S. Internet Explorer was working fine a week ago. I have not downloaded any large files.

Have you tried a repair job by going in to add/remove programs?

and it could be several cookies/sub programs (activeX .etc) that are unneeded have you cleaned them and have you scanned for spyware adware viruses if not you should on a regular bases..
