Runtime Error!

If someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
When getting online and opening up Internet Explorer once I
try to open a webpage I get this message that comes up:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate
it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's
support
team for more information.
It happens alot and is unallowing me to do anything with
Internet Explorer. If someone can assist me in getting rid
of this error please help.

Thanks In Advance,
Kevin

Kevin,

May I suggest you check your system for parasites and other unwelcome little
helpers as the majority of "C++ Runtime Errors" in explorer are due to such
software which is often badly written.

When did you last check your system for malware using your preferred antivirus
application making sure first that you are using an updated current set of
viral reference signatures?

This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0
from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot
Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your
system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good
as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called
BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for
unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Then there is CWShredder
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best
way
of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of
which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp..

Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of
HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a
folder called HJT on C: (not on your desktop nor in your temp folder) and copy
the file you downloaded to that folder. Close as many applications as you can
including all instances of Internet Explorer. Enable Explorer to see all files
and folders (Tools | Folder Options | View and check "Show hidden files and
folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files") and then run
hijackthis.exe and post back the log to either the HijackThis Forum at
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or alternatively
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this will enable
someone to identify the cause of your problem.
