When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use. It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post your log to http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7, or other appropriate forums for expert analysis, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

Using IE6 - XP-Pro + all current updates

*sometimes* when closing/exiting IE the screen page disappears but the tab
on the bottom tool bar indicates it is still live (but won't maximise if
clicked).

Doing alt-ctl-del shows that the prog is still running. End task usually
works but sometimes it takes a reboot to clear.

Any ideas what is causing this and how to correct?

TIA
