Internet Explorer 7 crashes when I quit. How can I fix this?

My computer has had some problems these days such as a "hard error" and also Internet Explorer crashing. I can live with IE crashing because it only happens when I quit but the hard error is almost like the Blue Screen of Death - I think it IS the Blue Screen of Death.

If you run a virus scan and still can't seem to find the problem, give Firefox a try. This will help you determine if it is the IE7 program or your computer that is the problem. If it is IE7, uninstall it and try a re-installation. You don't specify how old your computer is or any of its specs, so this is the best that I can suggest at this time other than resorting to pretty much purging your pc.

~edit~

If this supposedly occurred when you added the yahoo toolbar, uninstall both the toolbar and IE7 and then reinstall IE7 without the toolbar. It sounds like an unwanted program may have hitched a ride in while you were installing the toolbar. You need to make sure that both programs are completely removed (shredding works well, but only if you are very familiar with your program files). If some bug is in there, it may have corrupted the files of both, so the potential hazards need to be completely purged. It does have something to do with the IE7 and toolbar combination, because errors that occur like this don't occur out of nowhere. If you can't end it that way, you will probably have to resort to the methods listed by the previous answers of wiping your entire computer and starting from scratch (Although it probably is easiest just to reload everything from your most recent system restore point).

if that blue screen appears, that could be in its worst state.. the best solution is to reformat your pc..
Slow computer IE freezes

==================

Slowly tap the F8 key while the computer is powering up

Just after Verifying DMI files occurs the F8 key will point the computer to a menu where safe mode can be selected.

Note if you mistakenly tap F8 key again, it will continue through to normal boot

Scroll and select safe mode with network

Use explorer to delete the contents of the folder datastore.

Datastore can be found in c:\windows\softwaredistribution.

You may have to do this regularly when the computer slows.

The folder rebuilds itself and the contents are to do with windows updates and logs for errors. There is no harm in deleting the contents.

Reboot.

Also

In IE7 Advance Tab

Click Restore defaults

Tick empty temp files when browser closes (this empties the cache)

Bullet disable phishing filter

Delete Browser History, cookies the whole lot regularly.

Do all this

Clean Up Computer

===============

Download and run superantispyware. I was put onto this program because of an annoying popup (XP)

http://www.superantispyware.com

Superantispyware is a good program and remember to update it before scanning. A scan may take 45mins.

afterwards clean up the registry with this

Clean up pc and IE

==============

To clean up run this Microsoft鈥檚 windows live program. It does registry, spyware , virus , disk clean up and defrag

It takes 2 hours or more so once it starts to load x file of x you can leave the computer and go to bed etc.

Run the full scanner, then at the end of the scan it asks you to set it running full time.

Think twice about setting it to run in the background as it could be another thing to slow you down. However, it may be worth while if you have no other security programs running.

Consider the following options:

I personally run Norton 360 which is full internet security and run superantispyware when I want to.

So if you don鈥檛 have a decent internet security program then perhaps run the superantispyware with your antivirus in the background.

If you sick of antivirus programs that don鈥檛 work perhaps run onecare full time and run superantispyware whenever.

Now you should be flying and Onecare has even set up a new system restore point for you.
