when going to Yahoo, I am getting a page fault message and IE shuts down. I have other shortcuts to IE and they work. Here is the Hijack log:

thanks

Sorry for the delayed response-

I see that you've worked over the spyware issues and a couple of other suggestions in your thread at AumHa, so I won't have you repeat any of that here.

Question: is there any specific/detailed information in the page fault error? Please post the full and exact text of the details if they exist.

I thought I posted this already, but I guess not. Daniweb crashes on the computer. Here is the error message:
