Can anyone help?
(Sorry i couldn't think of a specific thread title)
Over the past couple of days my internet explorer has been crashing with the message " an error has occurred" it then asks me whether i want to send the data to Microsoft. Its been doing it quite often recently and occurs more when i'm searching for things either using a search engine (I mainly use google) or searching on ebay. When i search for something another window opens titled "search results powered by superbar" and i have a feeling this is causing the IE error messages coming up but i'm not completely sure. Is there a way i can get rid of this pop-up? Also, before i could type a web address in the address thing without using the "http" bit but now if i don't use that, another window opens called "OKSEARCH" and along with that a number of pop-ups come up, is there anyway i can get rid of that too.
Thanks to anyone who can help:)

    i can recommend 2 things. Firstly, if you have a copy, reinstall internet explore, or get the latest version (6 with service pack 1)
    Second, to get rid of spyware and adware (causing your pop up problems) install Search and Destroy or AdAware. Both these programs will hunt the crap off your pc for you.

    Euly!

    i kept getting that problem, but it stopped when i made my little brothers take their cd's out of the drive:confused:

    now the only problem with this PC is that every single page on TheSite throws up 3 error messages "runtime error" "object expected" etc etc.:eek2:

    Thought superbar sounded dodgy and it was!

    normally small annoying add-ons like these can be uninstalled through Add/Remove in the control panel, they normally hide themselves away from the start menu or places alike so you won't notice it installed on your computer.

    Anti spyware software might help get rid of it

    All I can think of is to go to the Add/Remove programs, click on the unistall for Explorer, and then use the repair function that comes up. There's a 50/50 chance that it'll fix the problems.
    If not, then I honestly don't know what to do.

    Ok, open internet explorer, click tools, then internet options. Go to the advanced tab, and click "Disable script debugging".

    Should solve your problem :)
