it keeps saying microsoft interent explorer has encounted a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm not that clever but i'm sure i read somewhere that it was to do with the last batch of windows security updates for IE, i have only had this problem since my last lot of updates. I am 99% sure that it is a bug in IE due to the above.

My computer don't have any spyware or viruses, it's clean so that is not the problem and is nothing to do with my connection.

Well microsoft better pull there finger out a release a patch, that is the only solution.

Or you could uninstall the last batch of updates through Add/Remove Programs? Make sure you check the box to 'Show Updates'.

This may help

You got Sp1?

IEfix is pretty good but you might have picked up some spyware.
