IE6 closes intermittently

[Mickey72]

My fiance is having a strange problem with IE6. It is closing intermittently with no error message. It does this while she's playing slingo, updating prices on Half.com or just surfing the web. She's running WinXP Pro SP2, Nav Corporate 7.61 latest Defs, Office XP, AMD XP 2600, 256mb Ram. She doesn't do much with the PC other than surf a little and play a few online games like Slingo.

I've tried using Spybot and Ad-Aware to remove any spy-ware but still no luck. My last effort was to apply Service Pack 2 for XP. There are no other issues with the PC so I would hate to reload it just for that.

Hi, Welcome to TSG!!

Make a folder on your hard drive, like My Documents\HJT
Download Hijackthis.
Unzip the file to the folder on your hard drive.

Double click on Hijackthis.exe then click on the "Scan" button, then click on "Save Log".

Copy and paste it back here and someone will be happy to review it.

Don't make any changes until instructed to do so.

I don't see much there...

Run HJT again and put a check in the following:

O2 - BHO: IEHooks Class - {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000240} - C:\Program Files\ClearSearch\IE_ClrSch.DLL

Close all applications and browser windows before you click "fix checked".
