OT: Internet Explorer 6 crashes

Over the Last two weeks or so, I've had a number of cases where Internet Explorer has crashed while I've been on this website, and I can't think of a logical reason for it. I've done the virus checks, etc. Twice, IE locked up my computer completely, and I had to shut down by pulling the plug (off switch on the surge suppressor). I'm using Windows 98. Has anyone else had any kind of trouble like this?

I never have problems here (assuming the board is up).

The obvious springs to mind: Do all your updates for W98 and IE6. BTW, I'm on IE6 but XP instead of W98.

I could be other software conflicting. Have you tried removing any spyware / adware? try running Spybot or Ad-aware, or like I do both.

There is some virus called "msupdater.exe" that can cause random IE crashes. Try a virus scan!
