IE Shuts down regularly



With more and more frequency I am getting an "IEXPLORE.exe has generated
errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program.
An error log is being created." Today it got to the point where every time I
logged onto ESPN.com the error appeared.

I have scanned the hard drive with Norton AntiVirus 2005, getting no
viruses. I then uninstalled Norton because it was interacting with my AT&T
DSL Service causing regular lost connections. I then installed and scanned
with AVG Anti-Virus 8.0. In addition I have addressed spyware/adware by first
installing and scanning with SpyBot, then uninstalling SpyBot and installing
and scanning with AVG Anti Spy Ware, then uninstalling AVG Spy Ware and
installing. and scanning with SuperAntiSpyWare.

Currently AVG AntiVirus 8.0 and SuperAntiSpyWare are resident on my machine.

Prior to submitting this post, I performed one more scan using Trend Micro's
HouseCall online scan. It found HTML_IFRAME.HT and ADWARE_BESTOFFERS. I had
it remove both, and then scanned one more time. That scan said I was clean
except for 23 "profileing cookies" which HouseCall did not suggest fixing.

After that second HouseCall scan I was still getting the "IEXPLORE.exe has
generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the
program. An error log is being created." error.

The following is my HijackThis scan log
