Just got answer from Microsoft. You need to go into your IE options,
go to advanced. Under the browsing heading, look for an entry that
says "enable third party browser extensions", if this box is checked
uncheck it. That solved my problem. They also had me go in to manage
my add ons (internet options, programs, manage add-ons. A list of add
on pops up and I disabled any that were blank under publisher or (not
verfied) even if it had a publisher.
Hope this helps.

The problem I am having is that I can not close IE window or any
other windows I open when I am using IE. I click on the X (to
close) and it goes into "end program" mode and shuts down IE.
Everything else in IE works fine except for this problem.

This just starting happening. I have the most up to date service
packs, I use spyware, I use McAfee as my security center and I have
BBHODemon loaded and everything is coming back clean. Your help
would be greatly appreciated.
