Hello,
I'm having some troubles with my wireless laptop! It either won't load up and says internet explorer is experiencing problems or it shuts down all the time. I've found it tends to shut down when i try to close pop up adverts or watch things online. I'm completely computer illiterate so any help (in simple terms) would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks

Configuration: Windows Vista
Internet Explorer 7.0

I was hit with the conficker virus last week - ever since my IE7 now just shuts down when it wants to - always the same message- ie has encountered a problme and must shut down. Also when I go to start the browser up, it automatically shuts down the first time and when I restart it, it starts up but after awhile it will shut down again. Before Conficker I was having the issue maybe once in a great while, now it is all the time. I have run MalwareBytes on it - that is how I cleaned off the virus and that has been taken care of. The system will not let me download any other browser now though either.

Mozilla Firefox is way better than Internet Explorer.

While Firefox and Chrome seem to be faster and more stable, I have come accross too many websites that will only work with IE (i.e online bill payments)

My explorer does the same thing and I don't have viruses or malware or anything like that. I scan for these things constantly. I have been told that uploading a newer version of Flash player will fix this, but I have the newest version! I have been told that numerous different things could be causing it, but everytime I look into it, that doesn't fix it! I am wits end and have started using Google Chrome. No crashes since, period.
