Every time I start IE it shuts off after a few seconds. When I noticed this I also noticed that my computer was running much slower then usual and every time I tried running two programs at once my computer would freeze up. I scanned with Norton Anti-Virus, Spy-bot, and Ad Aware and found nothing but the problem continues to get worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any better?

Thank you so much for your help! My computer is running much better now. IE and Firefox still shut down from time to time, but not nearly as bad as they did before. Do you have any tips on how to keep my computer uninfected and running fast. I noticed a registry tool on CCleaner, should I use it? I ask because I've heard that bad registry cleaning tools can screw up your computer sometimes. Thanks again, I really appreciate the advice.

I would not use the registry cleaner part of CCleaner, you are right about hearing bad things.

As far as shutting down you may have a fan problem and your PC is getting hot. Have you ever opened your processor and cleaned out the accumulated dirt?

I do that once in a great while and use some compressed air in a can from a distance, make sure it is unplugged first.

2. Run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep its definitions up-to-date. If you are thinking about switching, there are a some good free Antivirus programs that are decent, including Avira and Avast and PCTools.

AVAST: FREE avast! antivirus 4.x Home Edition, anti-spyware & anti-rootkit for Windows

PCTOOLS: PC Tools AntiVirus - Free Anti-Virus Download


3. In addtion to using SpyBot S&D consider using another free malware scanning/removal program:

4. Consider using a free firewall if you are not already using one. Some good free ones are:

Comodo:Comodo Free Firewall Software Download



5. Consider using an alternate free browser for general web surfing but you must use IE for windows update.
Mozilla Firefox: www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/


6. Consider increasing your browser security by using Spyware Blaster:
SpywareBlaster will increase browser protection by blocking Thousands of known malware sites by adding them to IE's restricted sites zone. Download it here:

SpywareBlaster


If you use SpywareBlaster, you can also use a customblocklist to add even more entries into IE restricted sites zone. Go to this site for the current list and how to use instructions: CJB.NET

Block access to Untrustworthy Sites

You can prevent your computer from visiting a myriad of untrustworthy sites and ad-servers by installing a customised hosts file. One of the best available is the: MVPS Hosts File. Simply follow the instructions to install the file in the correct location. This will not only make surfing safer but will improve website load times and block popups from many of the large ad-servers.
