IE7 crashes

I have Vista Home Premium w/ IE7 I have tried Beta 8 and switched back to 7
since then IE7 Crashes frequently, allows unwanted pop-ups...I have tried
fixing by reinstalling IE7 with the help from tech support, it did not fix
and I don't feel like being on the phone for 2 hours again! I am thinking of
switching to Firefox(?) thinking this may resolve.

Any suggestions?

It won't resolve your issue with IE7.
BTW: Opera is a good alternative also.

Hi,
First try...
With the warning that a reset will delete autocomplete data, such as
passwords and you will have to reinstall or re-enable browser add-ons, work
through this article:

Then, if numerous pop-ups are slipping past the IE pop-up blocker (IE>
Tools> Pop-up blocker) you probably have malware installed (trojans,
spyware, etc.)

I did reset the IE7 before and these same problems occured. I use Norton
internet security for spyware/maleware, antivirus protection. I thought this
would be enough? Thanks for the post!
