Browser Suddenly Closes

Apr 27, 2005 3:01PM PDT

I am running win-XP-HE OS. My browser is IE 6.0. When I am browsing the web, IE suddenly closes. There does not seem to be a pattern for this problem - sometimes it occurs every 5 minutes and then the browser will operate normally for hours. I tried a alternate browser - NetCaptor - and the same thing happens with it. This indicates to me that the problem is not related to a specific browser. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ray Savage

Look in the Security and read the note about HijackThis logs. Submit a log to those forums and see what they find.
