IE7 Crashes - related to Login Spoofing?

i have a very insiduous problem -- when i log to certin secure webstie
(banking, ebay, amazon, etc) i appear to get intercepted and send to a bad
replica of a page asking me to "Confirm Information". The page seeks SSN,
bank info, address, etc. Page is essentially the same regardless of site i'm
trying to reach, except it has headers, look and feel of the site i'm trying
to log onto. Giveaway is mangled english - same regardless of site - and
outdate copyright notice. when i use IE to look at the source, my login ID
and password in embedded in the page in the clear. i've run every anti virus
tool and spyware tool i can locate and all comes up clean. Now for the IE
part -- at seemingly random time, IE7 will crash and request to send Error
Report to MS. I've reloaded IE7 - but all of this stuff still seems to be
happening. I can't find any references to the spoofing issus that i'm seeing
and i came to this form to see if anyone was experiencing IE7 crashes w/
similar circumstances.

Any ideas?

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjunction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to
http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachi...php?board=10.0,
http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or another appropriate forum for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
