First off, i do NOT use IE. I use FireFox 24/7 and out of nowhere (when IE isn't even open), I get this error message saying IE has encountered a problem and must close. What's the deal here?

Run a repair install on windows it should fix the problem.

(Make sure to download sp2 and burn it on a disk first unless your sp2 is slipstreamed because you will lose all updates you have downloaded.)

You probably have some spyware that is causing IE to run in the background. Post a log in the Spyware forum.

Also, if you're using Firefox (or any program) 24/7, you might want to get some counseling...

They have groups...

No. I don't mean Yahoo! Groups...
