What's up with IE encountering problems with an add-on and needing to close all the time?

The last three days I've been getting pop ups from Internet Explorer saying there's a problem with an add-on and needs to close. Then, of course, I get booted out of whatever I'm working on. Does anyone know what's going on? This isn't a "my computer" thing is it?

Nope this isn't ur PC.

It's basically a desing defficency in IE 6 and 7. Although Microsoft has released IE 7 it didn't address the major problems of not supporting (really it's IE System crash) for cirtian 3rd party add-ons or Div-X.

There's nothing you can do about this. But still you can try downloading the latest updates/security settings from Microsoft. But it won't resolve the problem entirely, only reduce the frequency of crashing.

The best thing to do is Download FireFox2. It's free and it's way more reliable than IE.

My default webbrowser is Mozilla FireFox2 and it works fine (even for the sites where IE crashes and refuses to open) I only use IE for microsoft specific contents, and only when they force it :D

Hope this helps
