Hey I have the problem that my IE is still messing up...I have run Norton, Spybot, adaware, CWS shredder, and hijackthis... and I do not know what the problem is...it seems that it has effected my computer as well... for instance... my computer will never restart or shut down properly, this blue screen usually appears and the coputer shows that its still working but nothing is happening..and I hit ctrl alt delete and it seems that programs are not shutting down as they are supposed to... as for the IE... when I try to type something, as in Hotmail, it keeps messing up like my yahoo popup blocker will keep blocking stuff and also when IE is closed it will still start blocking stuff..I have no clue what is wrong with my computer....I need some help!

Mozilla runs better, automatically blocks unnecessary pop ups, more organized

Mozilla does not suck. You obviously don't know jack about browsers if you say Mozilla sucks compared to IE. I use Firefox, though.

it might not be just a browser problem you're experiencing since you said your pc is not shutting down properly and you're getting the "blue screen of death" sometimes. your windows installation may have been corrupted or you have a software conflict on your system. what programs do you run on startup? it might be a program crashing your system. if i were you i would first backup all your important data to another drive other than the one windows is installed on. update your antivirus, adware, spybot, etc. and run them again. do a complete defrag and run only the programs you absolutely need on your system. everything else i'd uninstall. if all else fails, reformat the drive as a last resort. and then if that still doesn't work, you may be dealing with a hardware issue instead.

I use Mozilla once in a while, but I mainly use MyIE2. Its interface is very similar to that of IE but it has tabbed windows and a popup blocker.
Plus your problem might be fixed by downloading some Microsoft updates. I heard that lately a LOT of security holes have been found in IE.

kinda sounds like spyware....or a virus....you can get rid of it but it will be hard without a reformat
