waol has caused an error....

Last night, for no apparent reason, I began getting the
error message "waol has caused an error in kernel32.dll.
waol will now close".
It doesn't match any of the referenced errors on this site
(they all say something about a page fault...? maybe it's
the same?).
In any case, I emptied out all temp. files etc., since
somewhere I read that might help.
It seems to happen when I try to go to certain web sites,
but not consistently.
Also, I can usually just close the error box and continue
what I'm doing-but sometimes get stuck forever while a web
page loads & I have to re-boot.
I scanned for viruses today & that's (knock-wood) ok.
Any help is appreciated,
Thx

Check the first site for the possibility of a Kriz virus infection, if that
doesn't pan out, refer to the second URL.
Heirloom, old and hope this helps
