About a week ago this started happening and i cant get it to stop :/

I can browse sites for a good 15 mins, maybe a bit longer, but then all of a sudden when i click on drop down arrow internet explorer crashes,

even if i dont use the drop down arrow and just type in the address the web browser just freezes,

Its not just a problem with IE mind,

I was making a site with Fireworks and get a similar problem,

I can save the file a few times, however after a while it just crashes,

Any ideas or any worms out atm the course these kinda things?

Cheers,

Pete

virus check first and spyware check - search for "Ad-Aware" made by lavasoft, download this and run it checks for spyware

I had that problem too! If I tyoed in something it just froze up... Its odd isn't. I re-formated my disk, for a different reason, but it stoped doing it after that .
I don't know how to fix it though, sorry.
