Re: IE Constantly Shust Down ?

Thanks for the reply. I was going through the
add/remove programs in the Control Panel and came
across a program
called "Otto". Ever heard of it ? I went to
click on it to "change or remove" to see if I
could find out what this program was about and
poof, it was removed. Usually this type of click
would get a
confirmation to remove to click on.

I thought my McAffee had a spyware program built
in but
guess not. I usually use Norton and every so
often use
the Housecalls.com site just to make sure Norton
is doing
it's job.

I have a brand new laptop with IE6 on it.
It constantly shuts down. First given me a
box that says do I want to send this info to
MS. When I say Yes or No it then shuts
down and I have to start all over. This doesn't
have just a few times, it constant. I wouldn't
think that a brand new install would have this
problem. Help Please !

OS: WinXP Pro SP2
1gb Memory and HD

I would suspect a malware infection.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
