IE7 crashes

Hi,

Whe I open a new window in IE, do some work, then close this window,
then IE crashes.

Any idea what the problem might be, and how to cure it.

Thanks

ps. working with the single initial window gives no problem.

OS is Vista

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.

Thanks for responding.

It appears that my system is clean.

I have noticed that if I am working offline and have two IE windows
active, if I close the tab of one of the windows from the dropdown
menu, then IE does not crash.

But if I am working on-line and repaet this. then IE will crash.

Does this observation offer a clue to the problem?

Best wishes.
