Hi,
Just to be sure that the machine is malware free:
Try BHODemon 2.0: http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm (safe &
easy.)

Then CWShredder, Ad-aware & Spybot http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Then look at any programs that might be causing a problem with IE. Look at
ad-blockers, toolbars, security/privacy programs, etc. The anti-virus
programs have been known to cause a conflict with IE. You may have to
reinstall your AV or another program.

This troubleshooting article may help:
276393 - Understanding and Troubleshooting Unrecoverable Errors (Faults) in
Internet Explorer: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=276393

Hope this helps,
Don
