internet explorer shuts down

[wjk310]

Why when I am on the net internet explorer shuts down and restarts? I don't
think I have any viruses. It just shut down not often but if it running
without me doing anything it restarts. I have a E521 Dell if this helps 2
gigs of ram 320 gigs of hd space. thanks for the help.

- go to control panel>internet options> advanced tab> click reset.
- uninstall the internet explorer
- reinstall it (i think it automatically installs after restarting)
- use another browser like firefox or opera.

Hi,

1. You may have an incompatible browser add-on.
See: http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp
for troubleshooting information.

2. Try the Reset button in Internet Options> Advanced. Note that this will
delete stored (autocomplete) passwords. Do you have those recorded
elsewhere? (Many users don't.)

If resetting IE settings helps, you may still have to re-enable browser
add-ons individually to see if the troublesome one can be found.
See: http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp

3. This may be a malware problem- adware, spyware, hijacker, trojan, etc.
