As NPIEAddOn is part of Linksys Network Optimizer, perhaps you'd best ask
Linksys Support about this?

Or simply disable the Add-on.

Hi,
Windows XP or Vista?

You are probably infected with malware known as Adware.DoubleD.

Download and run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

What security prorams do you have installed and running?

You visited somewhere and let them install their "Internet Saving
Optimizer" software which is adware.

from what I see, npieaddon itself is not malware, but is often packaged with
it. However, it may be on a system that is clean, and the file itself is
clean.
Regardless, it is still causing crashes, you can disable it by opening
inetcpl.cpl, click programs, click manage add-ons, and then select NP Helper
class, and disable it.
The following registry entries should work too:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Ext\Settings\{35B8D58C-B0CB-46b0-BA64-05B3804E4E86}
name = flags, type= dword, value = 00000001
name = version, type = reg_sz, value = *
