IE7 Freezes when closing with Vista.

Just recently IE7 has been freezing whenever I close it down. I have to use
task manager to clsoe it completely and this only works about 80% of the
time. I'm running Windows Vista. I've cleaned, defraged, virus scanned,
spyware scan and cleaned up everything I can think of, but nothing works.
Whats the deal?

Problems can result when add-ons you have installed are damaged or
conflict with Internet Explorer.

Run Internet Explorer 7 in 'No Add-Ons' mode:

If you have Vista: Start > type Internet Explorer in the Start Search
box > click Internet Explorer (No Add-Ons)

Alternatively, you can create a shortcut on your desktop with the
following target path:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff

If the problem does not occur in 'No Add-Ons' mode, then it's being
caused by one of the add-ons that you have installed. We can show you
how to identify which add-on is causing the problem.

Problems with Internet Explorer can also be caused by by malicious
software ('malware') that has been installed on your computer.

Update your Adobe Flash reader to (at least) version 10.0.22.87 if you have
an older version.

Especially version 10.0.12.36 is (among other errors) known to cause random
freezes in Internet Explorer
