Webuser Forums: Internet Explorer needs to close

I keep getting the IE box appear that tells me that it has encountered a problem and that it needs to shut down and invites me to send an error message. When I take the "don't send" option I am booted off the web page that I am currently viewing (and any that I have minimised) and sent back to my Desktop.

I was attacked by the Downloader Trojan recently but my Symantec real-time AV quarantined it.I have done a full scan and nothing appears to remain. I have also backed-up my registry and re-booted in safe mode and looked at that part of the Registry that Symantec suggested and can not find anything connected with Downlaoder.

Some sites seems to be more susceptible than others for this problem, indeed, bizarely this Web-User site seems to be the worst.

The Error Signature contains the following first two lines:

AppName:iexplore.exe AppVer:6.0.2800.1106 ModName:ntdll.dll
ModVer.5.12600.1217 Offset:00019ecd

I'm not sure if this information is of any relevance because the actual error technical report contains other probably more useful info.

I am running IE6 on XP Pro on a Pentium 111.

Is anyone able to assist me please in eliminating these troublesome incidents ?
