Default PLEASE HELP

My IE browser keeps locking up and then restarts my
computer. This only happens when i use my browser on-line.
I can use everything else including my chat services but
when I use IE it is locking up or freezing my computer and
sometimes restarts my computer. It does this when one of
few things happen, Either I type in an address and click
go or a come across a BIG picture on any web site or I go
to an web page with a Java (I think) script or it is a
huge page to load. IE, this happens almost every time I go
to microsofts web site to look in here. Just for
reference, it took me 4 trys to get to here and type this
message.

All current updates from MS are loaded. Do I have an
graphics problem? My drivers are all loaded
correctly and there are no conflicts listed. My system is
Win98 2nd ED, 1150 MHZ AMD processor, Nivadia Ti4200 video
card, 512 MBs MEM, a DELL 21" Triniton monitor and 80 gigs
of HD space.

You might get better help by posting in an IE6 newsgroup. Scroll back up
the Community Newsgroups list to Internet Technologies (for an IE/OE
problem). Click it and then find the appropriate newsgroup to post to.

Sounds to me like you've got the Sasser virus Whats happening to you is a
classic symptom of that particular virus.
Do a full scan with an updated anti virus program. There's a tool released
by microsoft as well that can detect this particular virus. Its called
sasserfix or something to that affect.
